Serving appetizers on endive leaves is great. It’s nature’s edible serving spoon. Less clean up and you get more veggies in. With the exception of my father, who picks all vegetables out of everything, everyone else loved this appetizer. Well, even he loved it as soon as we gave him permission to eat it without the endive.
