Apple and Bitter Lettuces Salad image

You can use a mix of lettuces for this salad, and you can also add some milder lettuce. My favorite combination is endive, radicchio and arugula. It is a simple salad with wonderful contrasts. Dice the apples small.

I'm not a big fan of bitter greens, but I really enjoyed this salad. The apples and dressing balanced out the bitterness of the greens perfectly.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover apples. I had some apples that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this salad. It turned out great!
