Not only does it offer a great, fresh, crisp counterpoint in texture to most any meat-potato meal, it’s wonderful on its very own. When I broached the subject of switching out the traditional salad we’ve served for more years than I can remember… one that also features fresh apple… I was met with a lot of “you’d better check with so-and-so.” And so… with all the “so-and-sos” sampled and in approval (grudgingly in some instances), the change was made.Īnd… quite honestly… I believe this is the salad that will now make our annual tradition for years to come. This salad, however, is one that I’ve been making over and over for the past several months… and I’m just a little more than obsessed with it. While this salad is certainly not just a holiday salad (it’s a great fall-winter option given our abundance of delicious apples and beautiful, fresh brussel sprouts), the true significance of being this year’s winner as our holiday salad lies in the fact that we had to get a change approved! For a family that loves its traditions when it comes to the Thanksgiving meal, the tried, true and beloved dishes we serve get repeated with little question from one year to the next. Though most any Stemilt apple variety will do, I’m particularly partial to the Honeycrisp apple in this mix… a lovely, crisp, sweet variety with a flavor reminiscent of apple cider.
This was our holiday salad… a crisp, crunchy, vibrant fresh mix of apples, shaved brussel sprouts and thinly sliced kale dotted with sweet, candied pecans and dried cranberries, all tossed with a light, lemon-honey-cider vinaigrette.
