Belgian Endive Salad

Belgian Endive is a bit of an acquired taste. A little bitter, it is especially used in French inspired salads, for crudities, and braised or grilled. Use any nuts or seeds you have on hand or prefer.

Belgian Endive Salad

Store endive in the refrigerator, unwashed and not in any type of bag; and it will keep for a week.

Remove a few outer leaves and cut off the stem. For this salad we simply cut it in half lengthwise and do not eat the bottom part of the stem. Other times we separate the leaves, remove the stem, and drizzle the vinaigrette over the leaves.

The only Carbs are the nuts or seeds.
