Holiday Salad Recipes

I made this a couple years ago for Thanksgiving and my family has been asking for it again ever since. So I made it for this year's Thanksgiving get-together, but I lightened it up some. I could have bought fat-free or lower-fat mayo too, but it was out of my price range this week! :(

I know it sounds like a really weird combination of ingredients, but it comes out very good!

A delicious treat for the dieter wanting to stay away from the high calorie cakes, pies and cookies during the Holidays.

This is a lightened up (lower fat, sugar free) version of an old classic with a few changes for the holidays. It has 1/2 lowfat mayo and 1/2 regular mayo to cut some of the fat. Instead of sugar, I subsituted splenda. For the holidays I substitute dried cranberries in place of raisins and substitute Lite Raspberry Pomegranate Vinaigrette Salad Dressing for some of the apple cider vinegar. This makes a very festive side dish which is great for a holiday brunch, luncheon or dinner.

This is so Yummy and easy, plus it looks pretty on the table!

Lovely color and healthy too

This festive salad is great with ham or turkey. If you don't have fresh brussel sprouts, fresh cabbage or broccoli could be substituded.

Make with rainbow rotini pasta--or even better is a Christmas Tree shaped pasta found in specialty shops. The red and greens are very festive. I use Best Foods Canola Mayonnaise which is half the calories of regular mayo--you could go fat free or olive oil mayo too. I'd like to try it with plain yogurt, but haven't yet.

light and fluffy fruit salad

This is a fresh fruit salad that you can add ingredients or delete ingredients depending on your taste. My father made if for us and for our children. It is a healty snack and taste even better the second day.

Salty and Sweet Dessert

flavorful and beautiful, and full of antioxidants and fiber

A light tasty salad for holiday meals.

I decided to make a holiday-inspired breakfast salad on Christmas morning. If I were to add anything else, it would be a little unsweetened coconut. I used frozen blueberries, but I think fresh ones would be better, especially if you want to prevent the pineapple from turning dark in the blueberry juice.

Really delicious, fresh salad.

A surprisingly tasty, colorful, and tangy salad.
