Favorite Seasonal Salad



This salad is a daily staple for us during the holiday season. Even my 5 year old gobbled it! Pardon the Thanksgiving pun.

Pardon the photo. I wanted to get something up here before it was gobbled away. My one year old already ate the pears! Hemp seeds added for lunch today...just because.

Make this as a dinner salad, bring it to a potluck or as a great dinner party salad. Its even great for breakfast!


Holiday Season Salad


Salad mix of spinach and arugula
1 Bosc pear or pear of choice, sliced thinly
seeds of 1 pomegranate
1/2 cup raw walnuts, chopped or crumbled
1/4 cup hemp seeds (optional)

Dressing changes, but here are our favorites: my husband loves a japanese ginger vinaigrette on it. I like an orange ginger dressing.

Orange Ginger Dressing

2 oranges, juiced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 inch piece ginger, grated
1/2 tsp. salt

Whisk together or shake in a closed container.

Super simple.

Super delicious!

in JOY!
