When thinking about winter salads, it is best if you leave the thought of a typical salad behind. Winter salads are about using what is in season and easily available to you. This may mean a salad without lettuce or growing your lettuce, but the main goal is to get you thinking about salads in a different way… outside the box.
When I think ‘winter salad,’ my go-to salad is quick to prepare, requires few ingredients and people love it. There is definitely room for altering the recipe. You could use a different dressing; although, I find the raspberry vinaigrette is a perfect match. Sometimes I’ve added raisins, sesame seeds, grated cabbage or grated kohlrabi into the mix‒they’re all great.
