Recipe description

This endive salad pairs crisp endive with potatoes and egg for a fiber-rich, gut-friendly meal. The endive provides prebiotic fiber that can nourish beneficial gut bacteria, while the potatoes add bulk to support digestion in a gentle, balanced way. The dish keeps plant diversity simple and approachable, with polyphenol-rich endive and protein from the egg. It works well as a light lunch or side, especially when dressed with a simple vinaigrette for extra flavor and fiber-friendly acidity.
