hi there chef Jim Davis here for Harris Teeter I'm going to show you now different ways to prepare endive or if you're from France on deeds first we're going to trim off the bottom of our endive and then we're going to pull off individual leaves these are great to put onto a salad tray and stuff with chicken salad or tuna salad or a small tomato salad and that's how you prepare endive for an appetizer we're going to cut off the tail end of our endive lay it down flat cut right down through the middle then holding our fingers like a claw we're going to take our knife and moving my finger so that only my knuckle sticks out cut the endive very thin and that's how you cut in diver salad you
