Helpful Tips
This is the best salad for Christmas! It is a festive holiday salad that can be arranged beautifully on the table. The salad tends to wilt so best to eat fresh.
The pomegranates make the salad alot more colorful. Opt to buy already seeded pomegranates in a cup so you don’t have to spend so much time doing it yourself.
