Edible Spring Flowers and Belgian Endive Salad
It's not always easy to find red Belgian endive, but if you can, the leaves add great color and form to a plated salad. Taste-wise, they are indistinguishable from the regular kind. BTW, always use the red variety uncooked. When heated, it loses that bright hue and looks just like regular Belgian endive!
