Colores en tu plato: ensalada de endivias rojas, remolacha y hierbas verdes

Colors on your plate: salad of red endives, beets and green herbs

Red or purple endive (also known as red chicory) is a very attractive vegetable that we can include in our dishes and that, despite what it may seem, is not that difficult to find in some markets and supermarkets, especially during its season, early summer.

With this colorful ingredient we manage to add purple color to salads, making them totally irresistible. If you want to entertain your guests with a very healthy and super original salad, this is a great idea.
