When winter arrives and you’re searching for that perfect tender head of greens, the produce aisle can sometimes feel a bit limited. That’s when Belgian endives really shine. They’re crisp, slightly bitter, and absolutely delicious with a simple champagne vinegar and oil dressing. Add a crumble of your favorite blue cheese and a handful of toasted walnuts, and you’ve got an appetizer that’s light, full of flavor, and wonderfully easy to pull together.
