Whatever this wonderful, lovely day is to you - may it be happy! Hopefully, you are still high off of all the delicious Thanksgiving food you gobbled up yesterday!
We truly had a feast fit for a Thanksgiving King - my family agreed that I topped myself out. Aaaahhhh . . . words and feelings I love to hear from my kids and hubs. I tried a new salad this year - and it was loved by all.
I wanted to share it with you because not only is it perfect for the holidays, but it's really a great salad at any time during the fall and winter months. It was DELISH!!! There were a few ingredients that she listed as "Lunds and Byerly's" - I didn't use them except for the Island Breeze Seasoning.
Harvest Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette
Original recipe by Sue Erickson, Byerly's
4 T pomegranate juice
2 T sherry wine vinegar
1 T Lunds & Byerly's Maple Syrup
1 tsp. Lunds and Byerly's Island Breeze Seasoning
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
6 T grapeseed or canola oil
2 HoneyCrisp or Braeburn apples, cored, diced
2 - 5oz. packages mixed spring greens
1 C shaved aged Gouda cheese
1/2 C thinly sliced shallots
1 C roasted, salted pepitas
1 C pomegranate seeds
In mixing bowl, whisk together pomegranate juice, vinegar, syrup, lemon juice, Dijon, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil.
Place diced apples in bowl; pour 1/2 C vinaigreete over, tossing to coat. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
Place spring greens in large mixing bowl; pour remaining vinaigreete over, toss to coat.
Arrange tossed greens on 8 salad plates, using slotted spoon to divide apples over each salad. Garnish with cheese, shallots, pepitas and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over each salad.
To prepare ahead: vinaigrette will keep, tightly covered, in refridgerator for up to 3 days.
I could have eaten this all day! Well, I suppose I could have eaten turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, apple pie all day too - but you get the picture!
