Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: 4 cups Boston lettuce leaves; 4 endive heads (halved and broken into leaves); 1 red apple (cored and sliced); 1/2 cup red grapes (halved); 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved); 1/2 cup pecans (roasted); 1/4 cup homemade mayonnaise; 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar; 1 tbsp. Dijon or whole-grain mustard; 1 tbsp. maple syrup (optional); 1 tsp. garlic powder; Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tired of romaine lettuce or spinach in your side salad? Branch out and try two types of different leafy greens – endive and Boston lettuce greens. Boston or butter lettuce is great for wraps because it’s flexible yet durable enough to stuff with ingredients. Endive leaves are scoop-shaped and are great for stuffing, too.

These crunchy lettuce varieties provide the base for a sweet red apple, grapes, and crunchy pecans. The creamy mayo-based dressing provides fat and allows fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E, and K) to be properly absorbed by the body.

This salad would be ideal for a vegetarian eater. Or, toss in a side of protein like chicken or salmon to turn this salad into a tasty lunch.
