So, what's the deal with endive? This chicory family member is known for its mildly bitter taste and tightly packed leaves. It can be found in a variety of colors, from pale yellow to deep reddish-purple. Endive is grown using a lengthy and labor-intensive process, which allows it to be available year-round.
When shopping for endive, choose firm, tightly closed, and heavy spears. Avoid spears with loose, open, or frayed leaves and brown spots. Prepping is simple: remove the outer leaves, rinse (if necessary), and remove the core.
Our endive salad can be made ahead, refrigerated, and serves as a delicious accompaniment to rich, full-flavored dishes like stew, sausage, and steak. If you're craving more chicory salads, give our frisée salad, chopped winter salad, radicchio salad, farro salad, or frisée salad with dijon vinaigrette a try.
Now, let's talk about how endive can benefit your health. Endive contains vitamins and minerals that support heart health, weight management, eye health, digestive health, bone and spine health, and pregnancy during pregnancy. Incorporating endive into your diet can introduce various nutrients and contribute to overall health.
