Our Most-Festive Salad Ideas
There are so many delicious dishes to choose from when the holidays roll around: appetizers, impressive roasts and showstopping hams and, of course, all the mouthwatering sides that go along with them. But there’s one dish that every feast needs: a bountiful salad. Whether you choose one that’s chock-full of seasonal ingredients or something that can double as an edible centerpiece, a salad is always a welcome addition to any Christmas dinner. There are many to choose from, like this one that’s beautiful, impressive and easy to prepare. It’s reminiscent of a holiday wreath, with a center well of citrusy Champagne-vinegar dressing. The salad itself is studded with pomegranate seeds, feta, navel orange segments and quick-candied pecans, which add welcome crunch and spice, on a bed of frisée, peppery arugula and radicchio.
