Though I am younger than you, my parents made this growing up!! I couldn't figure out how to make it, but oddly enough, I have been craving it!!!! My mouth is watering. We are in Tennessee and everything is closed due to snow. I am seriously considering trying to get to a grocery store just to buy the ingredents! Even if I don't get to the store today. I will be eating this soon!! I am so happy that I found this. Though I am younger than you, my parents made this growing up!!

She used to make me eat wilted endive salad along with liver. The first go around, I absolutely hated it since an eight year old's palate has no appreciation of bitter tastes. I never could get over liver's texture, though. After I moved on to college, I lost the recipe and my grandmother had no recollection of how to make it. Besides being reunited with one of my favorite salad recipes, I really appreciated your story of how you too found it. Thank you so much for making this available to the public! I just finished making it, and the salad is delicious! Thanks again! I was raised by my grandmother who is now eighty-five years old. She used to make me eat wilted endive salad along with liver.

I don't think there were eggs in the dressing, and it was definitely all cider vinegar. She used a sprinkle of dry mustard instead of Gulden's. And she called it "wilted lettuce."
