Looking for a good salad recipe to whip up quickly and take with you to Thanksgiving tomorrow?!
This one might be just the thing!
It is Thanksgiving-y (because of the cranberries and apples), it looks pretty, and it tastes great!
>> WHAT YOU’LL NEED <<
(serves about 10)
For the salad:
1 – 1 1/2 heads of romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup bacon bits
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped red apple
1/2 to 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
For the dressing:
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
(adapted from the Sweet and Sour dressing recipe from one of my faaaaavorite cookbooks: Come On In)
>> WHAT YOU’LL DO <<
– Put all dressing ingredients in a blender and mix well OR shake them all in a large mason jar.
– In a large bowl, arrange salad ingredients how you wish. Feel free to pre-toss or keep things separate (for the sake of the picky eaters who don’t like certain things!)
– Most importantly… ENJOY!
I hope all of you have a VERY happy Thanksgiving and have safe travels to wherever you may be headed! Thank you very much for stopping in today. It really does mean so much to me!
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever!”
1 Chronicles 16:34
