Labels: { Fruit, Nuts and Seeds, Salads, Seafood }

A super simple, light and refreshing Belgian endive and tuna salad with a kale avocado dressing. Great as a starter, finger food or even a light dinner. If you're not a fan of canned tuna, just replace it with roasted chicken or Feta.

Trim the bases of Belgian endives and pull the leaves from the heads. Cut and deseed the pomegranate.
Blend all the ingredients for the dressing in a blender until smooth.
Arrange the endive leaves on a platter. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds, chopped parsley leaves and chopped toasted hazelnuts over, then the drained tuna. Serve with the prepared kale -avocado dressing.
