My husband loves his mom's endive dressing, so I asked her to share the recipe with me. When I make this salad, I usually serve it with boiled potatoes and sliced smoked ham. Ingredients:
1/2 pound bacon strips, diced |
1 medium onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1 cup milk |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
3 bunches curly endive, torn (about 12 cups) |
3 hard-cooked eggs, sliced |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. Set bacon aside. Saute the onion in the drippings until tender. Add the sugar, cornstarch, salt and vinegar; stir until smooth. Gradually stir in the milk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat.
2. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg; return all to the pan; stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
3. In a large salad bowl, combine the endive, hard-cooked eggs and reserved bacon. Add desired amount of warm dressing; toss to coat. Refrigerate leftover dressing. Yield: 10-12 servings.
