HOLIDAY GREEN GELATIN SALAD

This salad has been a family favorite for over four generations, requested every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is smooth and creamy with the crunch of pecans, and light green in color. It has a very unique flavor, and goes very quickly at our home. Any left over crushed pineapple and cottage cheese make a great snack for kids.

The combination of crisp veggies, a well-seasoned dressing and dried cranberries can't be beat, believes Rita Farmer of Houston, Texas. "It's a refreshing salad to make for a luncheon or an evening meal," she notes.

HOLIDAY FRUIT SALAD (AKA GREEN STUFF)

We always make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas...it is a must have holiday menu item. You can substitute a container of Cool Whip for the freshly whipped cream. You could try other Jell-o flavors, but we are traditionalists and stick with lime. Some family members enjoy the addition of chopped pecans but I prefer without.

Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
  • Fennel and Apple Salad With Honey Yogurt Dressing. This wintry white salad marries apples' crisp, tart taste with the anise-flavor of fennel. Cortland apples are shredded and tossed with crunchy fennel matchsticks in a sweet and creamy dressing made with honey and non-fat Greek yogurt.
  • Brussels Sprout Dill Salad. Bring Brussels sprouts to your holiday table in a whole new way by keeping them raw in this vibrant, crunchy salad. Sliced thin, the sprout takes on a whole new personality in this wholesome salad loaded with great textures and flavors, including crispy almonds, fresh dill, and a showering of salty Pecorino cheese.
  • Ambrosia Fruit Salad. For many American families, particularly in the Southern states, Christmas dinner wouldn't be complete without an ambrosia fruit salad.
  • Red and Green Salad. Deck the Christmas dinner table with this vibrant and festive red and green salad. With slender zucchini ribbons, peppery green arugula leaves, and tart pomegranate seeds, all tossed in a bright, citrusy vinaigrette, it makes a lovely, light starter.
  • Warm Bacon Dressing Over Greens. You need only a few ingredients to make this sophisticated dressing that sings with bacon flavor. When drizzled over, the warm bacon dressing wilts the salad leaves slightly so they become soft and tender while still keeping their bite.
  • Pear and Greens Salad. Like a chorus of joyful voices singing Christmas carols, this elegant winter salad creates beautiful harmony from the sum of its parts.
  • Old-Fashioned Frozen Fruit Salad. Serve up some nostalgia this holiday season with a molded salad. Once a must-have for Southerners at holiday gatherings and church potlucks, with an ingredient list including mini-marshmallows, whipped cream, and canned fruit cocktail, these salads have a retro-cool appeal that makes them a fun addition to your Christmas feast.
  • Roasted Beet Salad With Goat Cheese. Bring good tidings to your holiday table with a bright-red beet and goat cheese salad. You can prep the roasted beets up to a week ahead, and the easy balsamic vinaigrette 2 weeks prior to serving.
  • Green Salad With Dried Cranberries and Fig Balsamic Dressing. Fig-infused balsamic vinegar is a magical ingredient that lets you enjoy the sweet, jammy flavor of figs even when the fresh fruit is not in season.
  • Roasted Cauliflower Salad With Pomegranate. Warm roasted veggies are always a cause for comfort and joy on chilly winter evenings. With bright pops of color from ruby-red pomegranate seeds, a scattering of green pistachio nuts, and fresh parsley and lemon to keep things light and salad-like, this delightful roasted cauliflower medley is a perfect addition to your Christmas feast.
