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.

This salad was a complete disaster. The dressing was too oily and the apples were not fresh.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

I found the dressing to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or maple syrup.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover apples. It's also a very budget-friendly recipe.
