    Endive isn’t the most popular vegetable in the grocery store, but once you get acquainted with it, it’s actually a lot of fun, and the scoop-shaped leaves make easy and versatile containers for all kinds of other stuff.

    Try it here as the base for bacon and tomatoes: it’s an easy adaptation of the classic BLT in easy, snack-sized servings.

    For the tomatoes, white wine vinegar and olive oil make a vinaigrette with a nice light flavor; it’s a little less in-your-face than balsamic vinegar but still vinegary enough to contrast with the bacon.

    This would make a tasty appetizer, and you could even add a vegan option very easily just by leaving the bacon off some of the endive leaves (everything else is totally vegan).

    But it would also work as a side dish, basically as a substitute for a tomato salad. Try it with burgers, fried eggs, or anything on the barbecue as an easy way to do something a little different.
