Christmas Salad
- 12 ounces fresh greens (mixed greens, arugula, spinach)
- 2 large naval oranges peeled and sliced or segmented
- 2/3 cup pomegranate arils
- 1 English cucumber thinly sliced
- 2/3 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 3 slices provolone cheese (to make stars)
- 2/3 cup almonds sliced
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp orange juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, orange juice, salt and champagne vinegar. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Pour dressing into a small serving bowl and place in the center of a large round platter.
- Wash and pat dry fresh greens and arrange evenly around the dressing bowl on the round platter.
- Top the salad greens with sliced oranges, pecans, almonds, pomegranate arils, crumbled feta and sliced cucumber.
- If you want to add white stars to your Christmas salad wreath, use a small star cutter to cut out stars from provolone slices or any other white cheese slices (like Swiss). Arrange the stars evenly around the salad.
- Serve and enjoy!
