We like to toss this salad together for a casual presentation, but if you want to dress it up for a dinner party, keep the endive leaves whole, arrange them on a platter, fill them with the avocado-bacon-gorgonzola mixture, and drizzle with vinaigrette. Ingredients:
5 slices (about 5 oz.) thick-cut bacon |
4 large heads belgian endive, trimmed and coarsely chopped |
2 ripe avocados, chopped |
1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled |
2 tablespoons minced shallot |
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar |
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, cook bacon, turning once, until crisp and brown, about 6 minutes total. Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.
2. In a medium serving bowl, combine bacon, endive, avocado, and gorgonzola. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together shallot and vinegar. Gradually drizzle in olive oil, whisking, until dressing is emulsified. Pour vinaigrette over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
3. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
