Winter Wonderland Salad ~ A Delicious, Easy, Healthy Meal

Many of us are enjoying the foods and treats of the Holiday Season.  

We sometimes forget the importance of daily fruits and vegetables in our diet.  This salad was my dinner today and can easliy be made as a main or side dish.  There really is no recipe and there are so many variations to make.  I included some of our left-overs and suggested options for your tastebuds delight. 

The directions are for a 1-large main-dish dinner serving.  I like to make similar seasonal salads on platters to serve 2 or more.

Have a salad and eat your party food without guilt.  I love making and eating Seasonal Salads!
