endive
Salad bar staple
Endive is a leafy vegetable in the chicory family, eaten raw in salads or cooked.
The term covers two distinct plants: curly endive, with frilly, slightly bitter leaves, and Belgian endive, a pale, torpedo-shaped head grown in darkness to keep it mild.
She added endive to the salad for some crunch.
