Try Any Of These Tasty Winter Salads

A thoughtfully prepared salad can be one of the most satisfying culinary endeavors there is. Think beyond pale green lettuce and bottled dressing and you can open a world of possibilities: bold blends of flavors and textures that hit the spot when you’re craving something delicious and filled with healthy ingredients. Because produce is always tastiest when it’s at the peak of seasonality, it’s best to choose fruits and veggies that thrive in the colder months. Below, discover some winter-perfect salads that will tempt your taste buds.

Fuji Apple Chicken Salad

Packed with fresh greens, chicken, tomatoes, pecans, Gorgonzola cheese, and apple chips, this salad is a tantalizing take on a popular sandwich shop version. Every bite showcases a variety of textures and a wonderful blend of sweet and savory, drizzled with a slightly sweet vinaigrette featuring a hint of apple.

Pomegranate & Wild Rice Salad

Wild rice adds chewy texture to a hearty blend of mixed greens, roasted sweet potato, pomegranate arils, toasted almonds, and goat cheese or feta. This salad is satisfying enough to make a complete meal, with tangy hits of flavor from the pomegranate, creaminess from the cheese, crunch from the almonds, and sweetness from the roasted potato.

Balsamic Butternut, Kale, and Cranberry Panzanella

Roasted butternut squash and fresh kale form the basis of this winter panzanella salad, which stars toasted croutons freshly made with crusty whole grain bread, seeds, and olive oil. Dried cranberries offer bits of zesty sweetness. A tangy vinaigrette with Dijon mustard and maple syrup is the perfect complement to the rest of the flavors.
