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 year…
Where is the salad in tge photo the lured me into this article? Frustrating.
Some posts are very old and have been updated several times to fix broken links and get fresh content, but pins live forever on Pinterest, so they can become out of date.
Where’s the recipe for the salad shown in the original Pinterest image… lots of beets, pistachios & pomegranate seeds
Please which is the salad at the top header with beets and winter squash? The only recipe with that looks more chopped—is it the same?
Thank you—they all look so beautiful and yummy!
Yes, you can chop or slice the veggies in various ways. Enjoy!
