Description

A festive and vibrant Christmas Salad featuring a colorful wreath-like presentation with fresh spring mix greens, sweet persimmons, crunchy walnuts, juicy pomegranate seeds, and tangy feta cheese, all served with a honey mustard dressing.

Ingredients

Scale

Salad

  • 10 ounces spring mix salad greens
  • 2 persimmons, peeled and chopped into ½ inch pieces
  • 2/3 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Dressing

  • ½ cup honey mustard salad dressing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large serving dish, place a small round bowl in the center to create a unique presentation style that mimics a wreath shape for the salad.
  2. Assemble Greens: Arrange the spring mix salad greens evenly around the small bowl, spreading them out to form a green bed that surrounds the center bowl.
  3. Add the Persimmons and Walnuts: Evenly distribute the peeled and chopped persimmons along with the chopped walnuts over the greens, ensuring an appealing mix of colors and textures.
  4. Top with Seeds and Cheese: Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds evenly over the salad for bursts of color and juicy sweetness, then add the crumbled feta cheese to provide a tangy contrast.
  5. Add Dressing Centerpiece: Pour the honey mustard salad dressing into the small bowl at the center of the salad, making it look like the centerpiece of the wreath and allowing guests to serve themselves with the dressing.

Notes

  • The small bowl at the center not only adds to presentation but also keeps the dressing separate, perfect for those who want to control their dressing amount.
  • Use ripe persimmons for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Toasting the walnuts lightly can enhance their flavor and crunch.
  • This salad is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the greens and the juicy texture of the pomegranate seeds.
  • Honey mustard dressing can be substituted with a vinaigrette or balsamic glaze for a different flavor profile.
