This Thanksgiving Salad<\/strong> will be a complete show stopper on your holiday table. And yes, it tastes as good as it looks with fresh honey crisp apples, pumpkin seeds, pecans, crispy prosciutto<\/a> and rich feta cheeses all crumbled over crunchy and flavorful arugula and romaine lettuce. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n There are a lot of thanksgiving salad recipes to choose from, but this one has all the fall produce making it the perfect complement to the heavier dishes you might have on the table. Sweet, savory, bright colors, and a flavor packed homemade champagne vinaigrette<\/a> dressing that will have your guests asking for the recipe after their first bite. Add this salad to your Thanksgiving menu for the freshest flavors and pop of color.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Step 1: <\/strong>Start by assembling the champagne vinaigrette ingredients and blend them all together in a small food processor. Give it taste once blended and add any additional salt or other ingredients as needed and set the dressing aside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Step 2:<\/strong> Prep the remaining ingredients for easy assembly. You could even do this in advance and store everything in the fridge until its time to serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n If you’re wondering if people serve salad on Thanksgiving, the answer is a big YES! It helps to balance out the heavier dishes and adds a lovely bright pop of color to your table. In terms of how to serve it, you’ve got two options. You can divide the ingredients between individual bowls for each guest OR assemble all the ingredients into a large serving bowl with the dressing on the side. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n There are so many great thanksgiving side dishes out there, but here are a few of our favorites that would pair perfectly with this healthy thanksgiving salad; sweet potato casserole with marshmallows<\/a>, yukon gold mashed potatoes<\/a>, wild rice stuffing<\/a>, <\/a>easy green bean casserole,<\/a> roasted butternut squash soup,<\/a> and of course the main dish, the Thanksgiving turkey (we love this grilled turkey<\/a> or this smoked turkey<\/a>)! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n We like serving our homemade vinaigrette on the side knowing that everyone has their own preference with how much or how little dressing to use on their salad. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Make this recipe dairy-free by using dairy-free feta cheese.<\/p> <\/div> The amounts that we provided are simply suggestions. Use as much or as little of each ingredient as you see fit. This dressing is so good that you might just want to make a double batch to have some to use throughout the week.
