Six Tasty Healthy Winter Salads to Brighten Any Meal. |www.flavourandsavour.com
I’ve collected half a dozen of my favourite healthy winter salads here on Flavour and Savour to share with you here!

Do you find yourself eating fewer salads in the winter months than you do in the summer? Creating a salad in the summertime is easy for me. I make a quick trip out to the garden, pick some fresh greens and vegetables and toss them with a little oil and vinegar. Healthy winter salads take a little more ingenuity when local greens aren’t available. But putting together salads with seasonal fruits, winter vegetables and nuts can result in some exciting creations.

Here are six of my favourite healthy winter salads.

Pomegranate Mandarin Salad with Avocado and Feta

Here’s a festive salad for any winter meal! Serve it as a holiday wreath at Christmas time.

Healthy Pear and Fennel Salad

This healthy salad combines slightly sweet pears and aromatic fennel. It’s quick to make and goes well with any fall or winter meal. I love the subtle colours in this crisp salad, too.

This one is a colourful medley of crisp pears, crunchy vegetables, sweet cranberries and tangy blue cheese, all on a bed of fresh romaine. A great salad for potluck dinners. Substitute your favourite cheese if you don’t care for blue cheese.

  3. I believe in extending the definition of salad beyond summer greens, too. There are so many terrific ones, hot or cold, that are at their best in winter. I especially love the fennel salad – it sounds so good!

  5. Elaine, you have totally lifted my spirits as we head towards winter and inspired me to make the effort to explore more winter salads. I really appreciate that most or all of the ingredients are in my fall garden, fridge or cupboard right now. Tomorrow, I begin…
