************************************
This is one of the best delicious raw salads yet! You may have seen this recipe last spring in the Atlanta Journal Constitution and it’s time for a refresher. Our generous friends at California Endive sent us a beautiful bounty and we certainly know exactly what to do with endive! Pronounced ON-DEEVE, these long legged beauties pack a super powerful punch on the antioxidant front as well as having a delightful and delicious fresh produce crunch and flavor. Use them in place of crackers or chips in your favorite dip or hummus or use them as a little “boat” to carry your smoked salmon or favorite appetizer. You can also serve them grilled or just tossed into a salad of their own.
Keeping it healthy…Cheers, Megan
