Salads can be hearty and filling, perfect for any season! These winter salad ideas are delicious main dishes or perfect pairings.
We Love Them All Winter!
During the winter, salads are not typically at the top of menu options. We frequently order salads when we go out to eat so it’s only natural we crave them at home as well! With fresh options year-round, there are delicious choices regardless of the time of year.
Salads are quick and easy to put together! They can be quite hearty and filling alone or great to balance out heavier hot dishes. Winter salad ideas include seasonal produce and plenty of texture.
With so many flavor variations, there’s plenty of winter salad recipes to keep it interesting and yummy!
Full of shredded Brussel sprouts, pomegranate seeds, sliced almonds, and a little bit of shaved parmesan, this colorful salad has the perfect amount of crunch!
Filled with mozzarella cheese, and cherry tomatoes, seasoned with basil, and covered in a light balsamic vinaigrette, this asparagus salad is bursting with flavor! Best of all, it comes together in less than 10 minutes!
