Chicory/Endive
Chicory is also known as Belgian Endive, and has an interesting slightly bitter taste, that goes well with apple or pear in a salad. Excellent for digestion, promotes the elimination of waste from the body. The individual leaves can be used with a dip, or sliced in a salad. Though this vegetable can be cooked it would be much better to eat it raw in a salad.
