Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/4 cup shelled raw unsalted pistachios
1/4 cup chopped raw unsalted hazelnuts
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups baby arugula
2 cups baby kale
2 cups baby spinach
2 cups quartered and sliced radicchio
3 mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the candied nuts: In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, toast the pistachios and hazelnuts until fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar, salt, vanilla and 1 tablespoon water directly to the pan with the nuts and stir to coat them. Cook until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 additional minute. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • For the dressing: Combine the olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt and pepper in a mason jar. Secure the lid and shake to combine. Set aside.
  • For the salad: Spread the arugula, kale and spinach over a large round platter, leaving space in the center of the platter (it should look like a holiday wreath). Top the greens with the radicchio. Arrange the mandarin segments over the greens. Sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds, cranberries, blueberries and cooled candied nuts.
  • Lastly, sprinkle with the Parmesan, creating the look of snow. Shake the dressing one more time and pour it into a serving bowl. Place the bowl in the center of the platter and serve.

CHRISTMAS TOSSED SALAD



Christmas Tossed Salad image

The perfect salad to serve at you holiday dinner table --- if desired place slices of red onion rings around the sides of the bowl --- the salad mixture may be mixed, covered tightly with plastic wrap hours ahead but do not toss in the apples until before serving or they tend to discolour, also do not add in the dressing until serving time, if you are serving more than 8 people double the recipe :)

  • Fennel and Apple Salad With Honey Yogurt Dressing. This wintry white salad marries apples' crisp, tart taste with the anise-flavor of fennel. Cortland apples are shredded and tossed with crunchy fennel matchsticks in a sweet and creamy dressing made with honey and non-fat Greek yogurt.
  • Brussels Sprout Dill Salad. Bring Brussels sprouts to your holiday table in a whole new way by keeping them raw in this vibrant, crunchy salad. Sliced thin, the sprout takes on a whole new personality in this wholesome salad loaded with great textures and flavors, including crispy almonds, fresh dill, and a showering of salty Pecorino cheese.
  • Ambrosia Fruit Salad. For many American families, particularly in the Southern states, Christmas dinner wouldn't be complete without an ambrosia fruit salad.
  • Red and Green Salad. Deck the Christmas dinner table with this vibrant and festive red and green salad. With slender zucchini ribbons, peppery green arugula leaves, and tart pomegranate seeds, all tossed in a bright, citrusy vinaigrette, it makes a lovely, light starter.
  • Warm Bacon Dressing Over Greens. You need only a few ingredients to make this sophisticated dressing that sings with bacon flavor. When drizzled over, the warm bacon dressing wilts the salad leaves slightly so they become soft and tender while still keeping their bite.
  • Pear and Greens Salad. Like a chorus of joyful voices singing Christmas carols, this elegant winter salad creates beautiful harmony from the sum of its parts.
  • Old-Fashioned Frozen Fruit Salad. Serve up some nostalgia this holiday season with a molded salad.

  • Roasted Beet Salad With Goat Cheese. Bring good tidings to your holiday table with a bright-red beet and goat cheese salad. You can prep the roasted beets up to a week ahead, and the easy balsamic vinaigrette 2 weeks prior to serving.
  • Green Salad With Dried Cranberries and Fig Balsamic Dressing. Fig-infused balsamic vinegar is a magical ingredient that lets you enjoy the sweet, jammy flavor of figs even when the fresh fruit is not in season.
  • Roasted Cauliflower Salad With Pomegranate. Warm roasted veggies are always a cause for comfort and joy on chilly winter evenings.
