About Chicory, witloof, raw
Witloof chicory, the pale, tightly packed Belgian endive variety, has a distinctly bitter edge that mellows slightly when served alongside something rich or acidic.

Thinly sliced into salads or used as a scoop for soft cheeses and dips, it earns its place on a board. Its slight bitterness pairs especially well with walnuts, blue cheese, or a sharp vinaigrette.
