👍🏼Tips for making the best winter salads
Consider adding foods rich in Vitamin C like oranges, grapefruit, kiwi, berries, or pomegranate arils to your bowl of greens. Try a variety of leafy greens like spinach, kale, cabbage or arugula. Organic salad mixes with healthy greens are readily available and make salads far more exciting than simply relying on romaine.
Keep your salads varied and interesting. For example, try using vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, carrots, Brussels sprouts, roasted squash or sweet potatoes.
Plan ahead. Make an extra salad for dinner and pack it for lunch. Many of these winter salad recipes use ingredients that will hold up beautifully for lunch. Just pack your dressing separately in a container and add it at lunchtime.
To make it easier for you to find what you're looking for, I've sorted these winter salad recipes into three categories: salads with citrus fruit, salads with fall fruits and salads with veggies. Any of these salads ideas would be ideal for a holiday dinner, too.
