Wild Rice Salad with Lemon Dressing by @pinchofyum

Start things off with this flavorful salad full of wild rice, juicy mangoes, tart cranberries, peppery arugula and a zesty orange and lemon dressing. If you want to stick to more classic Thanksgiving flavors, replace the mango with green apple. 
 
Garlic and Chive Cauliflower Puree by @primal_gourmet

The secret to a creamy cauliflower puree? Adding a white sweet potato!  It will tighten up the cauliflower and give a texture similar to traditional mashed potatoes.

Apple Cider Braised Butternut Squash with Cranberries and Balsamic by @realfoodwithdana

All the flavors of fall in one dish! You use can whatever type of squash you prefer here. Also, cook this the day before. The flavors will be even more pronounced the next day. Just reheat on the stove top, or in the oven with a little apple cider, if needed.
