The endive is a chicory plant that many remember as a tart winter salad. Thanks to grandma's secret recipe, it will be perfect and anything but bitter.
It's that time of year again, the cold season is getting closer every day. With it, the classic winter salads, such as lamb's lettuce – perfect with apple, walnut and bacon – or chicory, which also tastes good warm with a mustard-cream sauce, are reappearing in supermarkets. One of these green winter heroes is the endive. A rustic and robust variety of lettuce that offers a welcome change from the usual suspects on the plate with its bitter, crunchy taste.

This is how the endive salad will be perfect!
To ensure that nothing stands in the way of a perfect endive salad enjoyment, there are two things to consider. On the one hand, you should cut the salad into as fine strips as possible and on the other hand, soak them in lukewarm sugar water for five minutes. Watering removes the bitter substances from the endive salad.
What are you waiting for? What could be better for a cozy autumn evening than a touch of nostalgia, thanks to a bowl of endive salad with bacon dressing, like grandma's?
