Thanksgiving salad recipes that will turn a ho-hum holiday menu into a festive feast. These fall salads are so gorgeously tempting they might just outshine the bird!

One takeaway from my 30 years in Southern California is a deep respect for a great salad. Out there, no holiday menu (or any menu, for that matter) feels complete without a big, gorgeous bowl of greens at the center of the table. A fresh fall salad can brighten the Thanksgiving lineup and keep the meal from feeling too heavy. Here are some of my favorite Thanksgiving salads to add a little California sparkle to your feast this yearโฆ





































Wishing you safe travels. Sorry for the reason for your having to go. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I appreciate it Amanda <3
I’m so sorry to hear about your FIL. Warm wishes to you and yours!
I’m so sorry about your father in-law. Those times are difficult, I know. Is he on the east coast or west of Florida? I’m on the west coast. I would extend an invitation, since I feel like we are friends already! Safe travels.
Thanks Alene, he’s on the west coast, but I’m hoping to have time to get over to the east coast to see my own dad, too!
Safe trip….peaceful thoughts coming your way.
Thank you ๐
Thinking of you during this difficult time. A passage of life that puts everything else into perspective.
It sure does, thanks Susan <3
Sue, very touching note. Just express your feelings. A bientot
Appreciate you so much Alexandra!
Chin up, this too will pass. Treasure the time you have left together, and find strength through your family and friends. You’ve produced a lovely blog (I’ve been in media for 25+ years… so I should know!), and I’m sure your readers will both sympathise, and completely understand. One more thing… make sure you look after yourself, at a time when looking after others, becomes all encompassing. Take care, and much love from Australia!
Thanks Victoria <3
You are stronger than you know! Keeping my fingers crossed for a positive recovery for your dear FIL and a safe return for you and your family.
Life has a way of throwing us a curve when we least expect it doesn’t it? Always look forward to reading your blogs and I use many of your recipes. Take care of your family….your loyal readers will wait for your return.
Love and hugs
