Winter Panzanella With Stuffing Croutons Recipe

Winter Panzanella With Stuffing Croutons Recipe

  • 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
  • Kosher salt
  • Olive oil (for drizzling)
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toast stuffing on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet until crisp and brown, 25–35 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, toast pecans on another rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darker and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.
  3. 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.
