Christmas Endive Pomegranate Salad
This beautiful salad accompanies main holiday dishes so nicely. The colors are great and the flavors delicious. If you are unable to find pomegranate seeds use dried cranberries. Belgium endive comes in pretty yellowish green cone shaped heads. They are small so you may need to search well for them but they are worth it.
