    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.

    Pecan And Endive Salad

    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.

    Pecan And Endive Salad Recipe

    Serves: 2 Prep: 20 min

    Ingredients

    • 4 cups Boston lettuce leaves
    • 4 endive heads, halved and broken into leaves

    • ½ cup pecans, roasted

    • ¼ cup homemade mayonnaise
    • 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tbsp. Dijon or whole-grain mustard
