[recipe] Festive Yule Salad

[Guest guest]

This is really delicious and has a very festive holiday

look with the greens, cranberries, fruits and nutmeats.

You can easily just skip the shredded Swiss cheese if vegan;

I'd suggest just replacing that with some colorful shredded

carrot.

 

Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season!
