Endive, Radicchio and Apple Salad
Crisp, pleasantly bitter Belgian endive and radicchio; matchstick-cut crunchy, tart apples (here’s a good time to put Granny Smiths to work); crumbled salty bacon; and creamy ranch-style dressing—this salad has a flavor and texture to make every guest happy. The “greens” here are actually white and burgundy, so the apple is the only hit of green color in the salad bowl.
