Wilted Endive Salad

I like to add feta or blue cheese to this. Mushrooms are also a nice addition. Susan likes to make this with Romaine lettuce instead of endive and adds feta cheese.

Fresh Endive, washed and torn into pieces
Bacon, sliced into 1 inch pieces
Sweet onion, sliced into rings
Vinegar
[feta or blue cheese]

Fry the bacon pieces until crisp. In the meantime, prepare the endive and place in a bowl. Add the onions rings. While the bacon grease is still warm, add vinegar to taste. It should not be too sour, but you should be able to taste the vinegar. Pour enough over the endive to act like a dressing, toss and serve immediately. This salad is not as good once the bacon/vinegar dressing has cooled and the grease has jelled.

May top with some chopped hard-boiled eggs, if desired. Could also add some cheese (feta, blue cheese, cheddar) and fresh sliced mushrooms.
