Salade Liegeoise (Salad A'la Liegeoise)



This salad is reminiscent of some of the German salads. It is made with young dandelion, potatoes, cooked in their skins and peeled and sliced while still warm, thin strips of bacon, not more than 1 inch in length, lightly fried, to which a few tablespoons of vinegar have been added. The vinegar while still warm is poured over the salad, with the strips of bacon, and the salad is served warm.

Chicoree A'la "Croque Au Sel" (Chicory With A little salt)

Although this method of eating chicory is very plain, chicory is so often eaten thus in Belgium that it may be considered a national dish. Choose the very best and whitest chicory, wash and dry it, after having removed the outer leaves, and simply eat it with a little salt.
