Chicory leaves with smoked halibut, apple and egg

Chicory is one of the family's favorite vegetables. To make it as a snack in a bitter-sweet-salt combination is always a success. I made this chicory leaves with smoked halibut, apple and egg for the first time as a starter with Easter.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicory stalks
• 1 apple
• 140 grams of smoked halibut
• 1 hard boiled egg
• 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons of lemon mayonnaise
• pepper

Method:

• Peel the apple and cut in into small pieces.
• Mix the apple pieces with the Greek yogurt and the mayonnaise. This prevents them from changing color.
• Crush the egg with a fork.
• Cut the halibut into small pieces.
• Mix the egg and the halibut with the apple mixture.
• Add pepper up to taste.
• Cut the lower parts off the chicory, and peel the leaves.
• Spread the mixture on the leaves.

You may also try to season with a bit of mustard, or even with caper.
