Crab Salad on Endive Spears

I like using Endive Spears as an edible "container" for crab salad.  The creaminess of the crab salad coupled with the crunch of the endive is a satisfying combination.  Endive can be a little bitter on it's own, but when combined with other foods, it's flavour is much more subtle.


1 Endive

Crab Salad:
Fresh Crab Meat chopped into small pieces (or tinned will do just as well)
Diced Red Pepper
Thinly Sliced Green Onions
Thinly Sliced Celery
Mayonnaise
Lemon Juice
Cayenne Pepper to taste
Salt to taste

Combine the first 4 ingredients.  Combine the last 4 ingredients together.  Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture in with the crab meat.

Cut off the end of the endive.  Gently pull off each leaf.  If the leaf is too big, cut it in half. 

Spoon the crab mixture onto each leaf.  Serve immediately.
