Holiday Wreath Salad
Share
There’s something extra special about the holiday season — sparkling lights, gatherings with the people we love, and, of course, food that feels just as joyful as the moment. ✨
Say hello to the salad that turns heads before the first bite: our Holiday Wreath Salad with Rosemary Premium Olive Oil and Cranberry Pear Balsamic. Fresh greens are shaped into a beautiful wreath, then decorated with juicy orange slices, sweet pomegranate jewels, and crunchy pecans. Festive beet and cheese cut-outs take it completely over the top — and yes, it tastes as good as it looks. 💚❤️
Right in the center? A bright, silky vinaigrette that ties every flavor together — herbaceous rosemary, tart cranberry-pear, a touch of Dijon, and just enough Franklin Raw Honey to make the flavors sing. 🎶
It’s the perfect centerpiece for Christmas Eve, New Year’s brunch, or any holiday gathering that deserves a moment of delight. Best part? It’s so easy to make — zero stress, all sparkle.
Light, colorful, and completely celebration-worthy… this is the salad that earns applause.
