Flavor stand-ins for the endive

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (cottage cheese, garlic, cider, vinegar, walnut, pepper, apple):

  1. Capsicumbetter flavor fit
  2. Tomatobetter flavor fit
  3. Cucumberbetter flavor fit
  4. Endivethe original

Fit is the average pairing score against cottage cheese, garlic, cider, vinegar, walnut, pepper, apple. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
