1. Prepare the Salad Greens: ๐ฅฌ๐
Begin by rinsing 4 cups of mixed salad greens ๐ฅฌ under cold water to ensure they are fresh and crisp. Pat the greens dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Once dried, place the greens in a large serving bowl. This will form the vibrant, leafy base of your festive Christmas salad, adding a fresh crunch to every bite.
2. Add the Toppings: ๐๐ฐ
Next, add the toppings. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds ๐ over the salad for a burst of juicy sweetness and color. Thinly slice 1 large apple ๐ and arrange the slices on top of the greens. Toast 1/4 cup of walnuts ๐ฐ in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until theyโre fragrant and golden brown. Allow the walnuts to cool slightly, then scatter them over the salad. Add 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese ๐ง and 1/4 cup of dried cranberries ๐ for extra flavor and texture. Each ingredient adds a unique layer of taste and texture to the salad, making it perfect for the holiday table.
