Salad plant with curly leaves (6)

I believe the answer is:

endive

(Other definitions for endive that I've seen before include "Chicory-type salad vegetable" , "Salad plant related to chicory" , "Curly-leaved plant used as salad" , "salad ingredient" , "Plant used in salads" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
