Endive salad is a crisp, refreshing dish often enjoyed in European cuisine, particularly in French and Belgian cooking. It typically features Belgian endive, a mildly bitter leafy green, paired with complementary ingredients like nuts, fruits, cheeses, and light vinaigrettes. Common additions include walnuts, blue cheese, pear slices, or citrus for a balance of flavors and textures. Rich in fiber, endive provides digestive benefits and is a low-calorie option packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate. Its antioxidants may support overall health and boost immunity. However, toppings like creamy dressings or heavy cheeses can increase calorie and fat content, so moderation is recommended for those watching their intake. Endive salads are versatile and can be customized to include heart-healthy ingredients, offering a vibrant choice for light meals or elegant starters.
