"Say hello to my favorite holiday salad! I make this salad at Thanksgiving and Christmas every year because it’s that good! With all the rich and heavy food on the holiday table, it’s nice to start with something a bit lighter. There’s a little bit of everything in this salad -crunchy, creamy, tart, and sweet."
