Winter Salad
Winter Salad is the perfect recipe for this season! You usually don’t think about a green salad in the Winter months, but why not? – This recipe showcases fresh greens, pomegranates, pears, and oranges – finish it off with pecans, blue cheese, and a delicious 4 ingredient dressing!
After feeling like you just rolled out of the holidays. I love sugar cookies, delicious holiday dishes, and you can’t let them go to waste! lol! Your body starts to scream for healthy meals! Mike is back to doing keto and Lisa is trying to get abs of steel. Little old me, just wants to feel better. That is why I made this delicious salad. Of course, it can be a full meal or even a side dish, you chose.
This salad will make your body sing! You can either mix the salad together with the dressing or plate it like this so everyone can choose what they want.
