Comtoise endive salad

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

The endives are finely sliced, mixed with fried smoked bacon, diced Comté cheese and a little chopped parsley, then dessed with a good vinaigrette.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare 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 75 g small pieces of smoked bacon.

Stage 5 - 8 min.

Fry the lardons in a frying pan on high heat in ½ tablespoon oil.

Set aside.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Cut 75 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 3 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.
