Healthy, because
Endive provides a lot of fiber as well as vitamins and minerals. Walnuts are packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids, while the peppers contain plenty of vitamin C.
Even smarter
The walnuts can be exchanged for other nuts as desired. Hazelnuts, almonds or cashew nuts are a good swap, for example. If the tarragon taste is too intense for you, replace the herb with parsley or basil.
