Caviar-Stuffed Endive
Ingredients:

* 1/2 Cup cottage cheese
* 2 Tbsp. salmon caviar
* 3 Tbsp. finely snipped fresh chives or minced scallions
* 3 Belgian endives, separated into 24 leaves
* 1/3 Cup assorted julienned vegetables (bell pepper, carrot, scallion)

In a mini-food processor or hand-held blender, puree the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chives. Spread a little of the cottage cheese mixture in the base of each endive leaf, then top each mound of cheese with a dab of the caviar. Arrange the vegetables decoratively in the endive leaves. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives, place on a platter and serve.
