Raw endives can be bitter, but cooking gives them a nutty, sweet flavor instead. Robust balsamic vinegar and fresh tarra­gon are the perfect addition to this simple yet tasty dish.

Be sure to add endives to your rotation of leafy greens for some variety; they're a great source of vitamin K for bone and blood health.
