Comtoise endive salad

This endive salad has a Comtoise twist as a change from the usual pairing of endives with walnuts.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare 1 kg 200 g endives (head of chicory).

Stage 2 - 6 min.

Slice finely.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Put into a salad bowl.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Cut smoked bacon into small lardons, or use 450 g small pieces of smoked bacon.

Stage 5 - 8 min.

Fry the lardons in a frying pan on high heat in 3 tablespoons oil.

Set aside.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Cut 450 g Comté cheese into small dice.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Tip the lardons and their cooking fat into the endives. Add the diced Comté, the chopped parsley and 15 tablespoons French dressing (vinaigrette).

Mix well and it's ready.

Remarks

If you don't have Comté, use Gruyère or another similar cheese instead.

It is not essential to include the bacon fat. This can be left out if you prefer, though the salad will have less flavour.

Don't worry if your bacon is unsmoked, though do try to use it to keep with the "Comtois" spirit.
