Ingredients

4 cups (firmly packed) leftover stuffing, torn into bite-size pieces

1/2 cup pecans

1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

1 red or white endive, cut in half crosswise, leaves separated

1 small Treviso radicchio or any other chicory, cored, torn into 2-inch pieces

1 sweet-tart apple (such as Pink Lady), cored, halved, thinly sliced crosswise

1 small beet, any color, peeled, very thinly sliced crosswise

Method

Preheat oven to 400°F. Toast stuffing on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet until crisp and brown, 25–35 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast pecans on another rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darker and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.

Whisk grapefruit juice, vinegar, and honey in a large bowl. Add endive, radicchio, apple, beet, and pecans, season with salt, and toss to combine. Drizzle salad with oil and add stuffing croutons; toss again to combine.
