    Healthy Winter Green Salad for the Holidays and Beyond

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on December 23, 2021 Appetizers, Dairy-Free Recipes, Salad

    Let’s face it, the holidays aren’t usually the healthiest time of year. Creamy casseroles, fluffy breads, and the sweetest of desserts dominate the scene. But you can balance out those heavy meals with this beautiful and healthy winter green salad. It boasts a seasonal array of ingredients and colors to brighten up even the brownest of dinners.

    Healthy Winter Green Salad Recipe (Dairy-Free, Plant-Based, Stunning!) - for the holidays and beyond! Uses seasonal ingredients, naturally allergy-friendly and vegan with paleo and meal salad options.

    Healthy Winter Green Salad for the Holidays and Beyond

    This winter green salad recipe was shared with us by Dole as a part of their healthy Thanksgiving and Christmas feast. It’s loaded with fresh ingredients, nutrients, and of course, antioxidants, to help keep you well throughout the cold winter months. Because, of course, you can make it well beyond the holiday season!

    All of the ingredients in this salad are quite easy to find from fall through most of winter. And you can easily make this fresh side into a meal. Simply add cooked chicken, like leftover diced chicken breast or rotisserie chicken, or baked tofu to keep it plant-based. Just be sure to double the vinaigrette!
