    List of Ingredients




    BROCCOLI ENDIVE SALAD

    Serves 6
    Provides 2 vegetable servings per person
    Belgian endive is found with other lettuce and leafy greens in the produce section.


    1 1-pound package frozen broccoli spears (2 cups)
    3/4 cup low-fat French or Italian salad dressing, divided
    1 pound Belgian endive (6 cups)
    2 red bell peppers, cut in strips or 2 cups tiny tomatoes (2 cups)
    1 tablespoon pine nuts


    1. Blanch broccoli by placing it into a pot of boiling water for 1 minute. Then pour into a colander and run under cold water to stop cooking. Drain thoroughly in the colander then toss with 1/4 cup of the salad dressing.

    2. Cut the cone-shaped core out of the bottom of each endive. The leaves should separate. Toss gently with another 1/4 cup of the dressing.

    3. To compose the salad on a platter or on individual plates, lay the endive leaves around the sides. Set the pepper strips on the leaves. Place the marinated broccoli in the middle, drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup dressing over all, and top with pine nuts
