My husband loves his mom's endive dressing, so I asked her to share the recipe with me. When I make this salad, I usually serve it with boiled potatoes and sliced smoked ham.

I made this with spinach instead of endive. Everyone seemed to like it. My only piece of advice would be to follow the recipe as is... I used extra bacon drippings (thinking it would add to the flavor), but it just made the salad a little greasy.

This is the recipe I remember my grandmother making! I've been looking for it for some time. It's on my list of MUST TRY recipes. I need a Nana fix!
