FESTIVE SPINACH SALAD



Festive Spinach Salad image

Every time I make this, I get a lot of great reviews. I think I got the recipe years ago in a Taste of Home magazine. I always make extra dressing and keep it around (practically forever), as it tastes great on everything!

  • 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.
