1
Prepare the Greens
Wash the endive, radicchio, and chicory thoroughly. Tear the endive and radicchio into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl. Add the chicory.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3
Shave the Apple
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, shave the apple into thin slices. Add the apple slices to the salad bowl.
4
Make the Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Adjust to taste. Crumble the Pt Reyes Bleu Cheese into the vinaigrette and mix gently.
5
Combine and Serve
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, add the crumbled bacon, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
