This Rainbow Winter Salad is packed with colorful, nutritious ingredients and tossed with a citrus orange vinaigrette.

Rainbow Winter Salad with Walnut Orange Vinaigrette

When the holidays come along, I understand when the kitchen is a big mess and there’s a baking frenzy. Rather than snacking on whatever you’re baking, I recommend an alternative: a rainbow winter salad to add some brightness to your day (before that early 4pm sunset) and a citrusy vinaigrette to top it off.

With a colorful mix of ingredients, this salad will look like summer in a bowl but have all of the local flavors that are so nutritious for your body, especially during the cold season. Flu season is well underway and keeping up with fresh and seasonal fruits and veggies is a great way to boost your immune system.

The crunch, the flavor, the colors: they’re all here! Right in one bowl.

So what will I need to make this Rainbow Winter Salad?

  • red cabbage
  • carrots
  • salad greens
  • pomegranate seeds
  • radicchio
  • daikon radish
  • green onion
  • walnuts
  • oranges

What will you need to make the Walnut & Orange Dressing?

  • orange
  • sherry vinegar
  • sea salt
  • pepper
  • toasted walnut oil

Fruits, veggies, crunch, and a great variety of them all: what a great salad mix-up!
