I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have been able to enjoy this holiday season with friends and family! I am attempting to hold on to it, and make it last as long as possible as it is such a joyous time of year. We spend so much time preparing for this holiday… I can’t let it go quite yet.
I am sharing with you one of our favorite family salads. I made it on Christmas Eve, and it is often one I think of every year during the winter months. My mom made it for us every year that I can remember, and now it’s one I crave.
The pomegranates just add those bursts of flavor mixed with the citrusy tart fruits. The red onion, nuts, and feta cheese enhance this refreshing salad. I typically use Ken’s Steakhouse Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette for the dressing; however Poppy seed dressing would also be another great option.
