Christmas Salad

Posted in Salad, Sauces, Vegetarian

I found this recipe at a local grocery store who runs cooking classes. I took liberties with the ingredients and made it my own. It is a perfect combination of red and green for the holidays and the fresh thyme is reminiscent of turkey dinner.

Dressing

2 tbls cranberry sauce
1 teas fresh thyme
1 tbls honey
1 small clove of garlic, chopped
1 tbls red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teas balsamic vinegar
2 tbls olive oil
fresh ground pepper to taste

Salad

1 package of mixed salad greens
1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

Directions

To make salad dressing combine everything in a small food processor except the olive oil. With motor running on low speed drizzle in olive oil.
Put salad greens, sprouts, cranberries and walnuts in a salad bowl and either toss with dressing just before serving or serve the dressing on the side.

Other festive additions could be red and green peppers, green onions, broccoli, etc.
