The Salad I’m Bringing To Thanksgiving and Christmas

This salad has me texting all my buddies to allow them to know I’ve discovered my new favourite vacation salad.
For years now I’ve been desirous to get a vacation salad in my recipe lineup that works properly for every kind of eaters at a vacation gathering.
Usually, my go-to salads for holidays are the brussels sprouts salad (YUM) and the layered beet and kale salad (GORGEOUS). These are 10/10 for me. However not everyone in my household loves brussels, kale, and beets, if you already know what I imply?
So this can be a salad that speaks to nearly everyone – myself included.

(Pictured right here with some BBQ meatballs and mac and cheese – as a result of I’m already hooked on it and making it for non-holidays, too!)
- Delicate greens
- Very thinly sliced apples
- Candied nuts
- Fluffy parm
- Candy cider dressing with a little bit of shallot
The dressing is SO enjoyable – it’s candy and festive with the tang of cider vinegar and shallot, and the heat of cinnamon and maple. And the add-ins on the salad are straightforward and acquainted (store-bought candied nuts, thanks very a lot).
Because the annual salad-bringer in my household, that is what I’m bringing for Thanksgiving this 12 months! And doubtless Christmas, too!

How To Make This Salad (Step-By-Step!)
1
Prep Components.
Three most important issues: mince the shallot, and thinly slice the apple, and grate a bunch of fluffy parm. 🙂

1
Whisk the Dressing.
This may be completed forward of time! Simply retailer it within the fridge.

2
Toss Salad with Dressing.
Do that proper earlier than serving! (I like to order a number of the apples, walnuts, and Parmesan for making it fairly on high as soon as it’s been tossed up.)

4
Serve! Fairly!
This works properly in a single huge serving bowl, or on particular person salad plates!
