Curly endive is the most common form of endive. It can used for a salad and stir fries. Most grocery stores sell it in the produce section. I prefer salads. It is a bit bitter but you and lighten that up with adding oranges and olives to your salads. The oranges and olives really take care of the bitterness. The salad dressing of choice is an olive oil and balsamic vinegar with spices. Endive has been a fresh change from romaine, green leaf or iceberg. One head of endive lasted me 1 full week of lunches and/or dinner salads.
Endive is also sold whole. They look like large pods. They are great grilled with olive oil and butter for 3-4 minutes a side.
The above picture is whole endive. (Olives are not the endive)
