Bitter-leafed vegetable (6)

I believe the answer is:

endive

(Other definitions for endive that I've seen before include "salad ingredient" , "Envied the salad green badly" , "Salad plant with crisp curly leaves" , "Portion of salad" , "Plant used in salads" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
