CHRISTMAS TOSSED SALAD



Christmas Tossed Salad image

The perfect salad to serve at you holiday dinner table --- if desired place slices of red onion rings around the sides of the bowl --- the salad mixture may be mixed, covered tightly with plastic wrap hours ahead but do not toss in the apples until before serving or they tend to discolour, also do not add in the dressing until serving time, if you are serving more than 8 people double the recipe :)

  • Apple Salad with Raisins and Walnuts. Saving room for a big Christmas dinner? This salad is the perfect lunch solution. Apple slices and pomegranates keep the mood festive while walnuts add a protein boost.
  • Caprese Salad Christmas Wreath. I know that Caprese salad isn’t festive in the traditional sense. And it’s probably not what first comes to mind when you think of Christmas side dishes.
  • Cranberry Almond Spinach Salad. Sneaking greens into a holiday meal is easy with this recipe. Toss a hefty amount of spinach with dried cranberries, almond slices, and a tangy sesame seed dressing.
  • Warm Brussels Sprouts and Pear Salad. With Brussels sprouts in season, I like to swap out my leafy greens with this hearty winter veggie. Shredded Brussels sprouts act as the bed of greens while pears and cranberries add a burst of cheer.
  • Cranberry Chicken Salad. Chicken salad may sound like an odd choice for a festive Christmas salad, but hear me out. It’s creamy, meaty, and wonderfully cool.
