Endive, Oat Butter & Yogurt

50m

Endive, Oat Butter & Yogurt is a very delicious dish that definitely stands out! It can be served as an entrée salad or as an appetizer for whenever you have friends coming over.

It is very elegant, and pairs nicely not only with grilled meats and other vegetables, but also with various cocktails such as gin & tonic and lemon spritzer.

Oat butter is a perfect replacement for peanut butter to anyone who's allergic.

This dish is kind of a tribute to Belgium, where I live now, as Belgians love eating endives!
