Holiday Salad with Passion Fruit Dressing
Loading...
This Holiday Salad takes advantage of some of my favorite fall and winter fruits: passion fruit, pomegranates, and Fuyu persimmons. It is a bright and flavorful salad that is sure to perk you up from any winter doldrums you may be experiencing. It is a festive and healthy addition to a Thanksgiving or Christmas feast, but equally delicious for a weeknight meal.
Passion Fruit Dressing is the Secret to this Holiday Salad
Fragrant and delicious Passion Fruit Salad Dressing is the star of this Holiday Salad. I make a big batch and then use it all week. You can get my recipe here, along with information on passion fruit.Pick Your Greens
I make this Holiday Salad with a variety of lettuces. I like it with delicate butter lettuce because I think it lets the passion fruit salad dressing shine. If you are using butter lettuce or any other head lettuce, make sure you wash, spin and chill the lettuce well in advance. This is the secret to a well-dressed salad as dressing does not adhere to wet lettuce.Click to download our free e-cookbook: 15 Recipes To Make You Look Like A Star
I also make this Holiday Salad with baby spinach. Little Gem, Red Curly or Mache would also be delicious.
Looks and Tastes Fancy
The beauty of this Holiday Salad is that it looks and tastes fancy, but is very simple to make. The fruit combination of persimmon, pomegranate, blueberry and passion fruit is unexpected and a bit exotic. The dressing can be made a few days ahead of time and then it is just a matter of chopping and assembling. PrintHoliday Salad with Passion Fruit Dressing
