Pomegranate Christmas Salad

Pomegranate-Christmas-salad8

Christmas is in TWO days! Are you ready??

I’m sure most of you have your meal all planned out, but if you’re looking for a festive salad to add to the feast, consider this Pomegranate Christmas Salad!

I love the colors of this salad, perfect for any holiday dinner get-together. Tomatoes are no longer in season, hence mine are looking a little pale, but that’s the beauty of a salad, no recipe is needed, just throw in the things you love.

And to make it festive, walk the produce aisle at your local grocery store and pick up any red and green vegetables that tickle your fancy (yes, I just said that) and toss them in!

I think it’s fair to say that the typical Christmas dinner is full of warm rolls, rich casseroles, and goodies galore, let’s lighten things up by adding a clean and pretty salad to the table.

And look at those Pomegranate seeds, they are like little jewels for your salad! Avocado would be a wonderful addition to this salad, as would candy coated pecans, yum! Suddenly I am taking this salad in the opposite direction and wanting to top it with sugared nuts, I think I seriously need to go on a sugar detox! The sweets have piled up at our office as our thoughtful vendors and clients continue to send yummy Christmas gifts. Clearly I still have sugar on the brain!

Josh and I will be traveling a lot over the next few weeks, so if you don’t hear from me it’s because we’re having loads of fun with family and friends! But, as long as I have internet I’ll do my best to stay in touch and I’ve prepared a few blogs to post in my absence.

I hope you and your families have a very Merry Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Savior!
