I would give this more than 5 stars if I could! This recipe was the star of my appetizer party. I made the stuffing ahead of time and just added the croutons last minute so they wouldn't get soggy. Also, couldn't find chickory (this is January in Wisconsin!) so I used hearts of romaine as the "scoops" - worked great! I was surprised that the guys liked this as well as the ladies - made ribs and wings for the men and they still went for this dish. This will be a keeper for me - thanks M.A.!!
