Wash and dry endive leaves. Place 1 rounded teaspoon salad onto base of each leaf; arrange in wreath shape on serving platter.

The compact, slim, small heads of Belgian endive are grown in the dark to keep them pale. Related to escarole and curly endive, Belgian endive leaves are tipped with green or red. Store them in the refrigerator and eat them within a day.
Fill endive leaves with your favorite deli salad; try tuna, chicken or vegetable salad.
