Belgian endive is the perfect Seriously Simple vegetable for cocktail parties. Spoon a small dollop of herbed cream cheese on the tip and garnish with bay shrimp. Or try a dab of sour cream and a garnish of chopped smoked salmon and a sprinkling of dill for an elegant pick-up dish. You are only limited by your imagination. And the elegant endive stalks are a tasty foundation to many salads.

This is the Belgian endive salad I go back to year after year during the holidays. It’s light and refreshing and can be served as a light main course, first course or after the entree. In other words, it’s a sure thing anytime you want a satisfying salad.
