On Thanksgiving Day this year, my cousin and I crafted a delightful, crowd-pleasing salad together, with the help of my mom’s famous homemade dressing (don’t you love family recipes?). The comforting flavors and bright pomegranate seeds make this salad the perfect side to a holiday lunch or dinner. And so, I am deeming it the fresh festive choice for your Christmas feast next week. Plus, it’s so easy to create. Enjoy!
