This warm salad is a deliciously different way to serve lettuce. Unlike other wilted versions, this one is not sweet. Vinegar and bacon give it old-fashioned savory goodness. Ingredients:
12 bacon strips, diced |
3 bunches curly endive |
4 quarts water |
2-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided |
2 to 3 tablespoons cider vinegar |
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook bacon until crisp; remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Reserve 3 tablespoons drippings. Cut or tear endive from center stalk; discard stalks.
2. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring water and 1-1/2 teaspoons salt to a boil. Add endive; cover and cook for 3 minutes or until wilted. Drain. Stir in the bacon, vinegar, onion, pepper, reserved drippings and remaining salt. Yield: 6 servings.
