That Garden Guy’s Chicoree Endive Salad Frisee Recipe

Chicoree Endive Salad Frisee

 

I had this salad at an Italian Restaurant years ago. I asked the Chef for the recipe and was told it was a “secret recipe”. After experimenting and guessing, I figured out this recipe which my wife and I enjoy from time to time.

Ingredients

1 bunch green curled Endive or sometimes call Chicoree Endive

2 Tbsp. Champagne Vinegar

1 cup Mayonnaise

½ tsp. ground mustard

½ Tbsp. Garlic pepper

½ lb. Pancetta ( Italian bacon)

¼ cup olive oil

Grated Parmesan cheese to taste

 

In a 6 qt. sauce pot, cook chopped Pancetta until crisped.

Remove from pot and drain on a paper towel.

Add oil, ground mustard, garlic pepper and Champagne vinegar and bring to a boil.

Allow pot to cool for a couple of minutes.

Then add the mayo and whisk until mixture is creamy and smooth.

Pour over your Endive and mix well, add the crisped Pancetta and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over top.

This dressing can be used over Mustard or Kale greens too!!
