Holiday Magic Salad with Spiced Orange Candied Pecans
Because every holiday feast deserves a salad that can hold its own next to the roast and the pie.
A Salad That Sleighs 🎅
Deck the halls—and your holiday table—with a salad so vibrant, it might upstage your Christmas tree.
This Christmas Holiday Salad brings together fresh greens, juicy fruit, and a sprinkle of sparkle thanks to Sweet P’s award-winning Spiced Orange Candied Pecans (yes, that’s a Wisconsin State Fair Winner—no big deal).
It’s zesty, sweet, savory, and festive enough to make even Santa pause for seconds.
🥗 Ingredients
For the Salad
- Mixed greens (we love a blend of spinach, arugula, and spring mix)
- Pomegranate seeds (for the holiday sparkle ✨)
- Fresh orange segments
- Dried cranberries
- Thinly sliced red onion
- A generous handful of Sweet P’s Spiced Orange Candied Pecans
For the Dressing
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp orange juice (fresh, of course—this isn’t amateur hour)
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- Pinch of salt and pepper, to taste
🍊 How to Make It
1. Assemble the magic.
In your most Instagram-worthy bowl, toss together the greens, pomegranate seeds, orange slices, cranberries, and red onion.
2. Star of the show.
Add a generous handful of Sweet P’s Spiced Orange Candied Pecans on top. Don’t skimp—these are what make the salad sing.
3. Whisk it up.
Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar. Whisk (or shake) until it’s smooth and blended—pretend you’re mixing up a Christmas cocktail.
4. Dress to impress.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad right before serving. Toss gently so every bite gets that sweet, zesty shine.
5. Finish with flair.
Top it all off with crumbled goat cheese or feta. It’s that extra creamy touch that takes this from “just a salad” to “holiday masterpiece.”
