Cooked as written; a delightful and refreshing use of frisee from my CSA box. I would make this again!
I substituted olives with very thinly sliced red onions since my husband doesn’t like olives. Great combo - oh yes, and didn’t do mustard in dressing. Still tastes amazing - the sun dried tomatoes and frisée is an amazing combo
Substituted olives with thinly sliced red onions - was amazing. And didn’t add mustard in dressing and it still tasted really good. Delicious!
