Christmas Vegetable Salad image

My sister gave me this recipe at a family gathering one year, and I've been making her colorful, crisp salad for holiday get-togethers, dinner parties and potlucks ever since. This festive salad travels well and holds up beautifully on the buffet table, so it's ideal for making ahead. Serve it in a clear bowl so everyone can see the pretty color combination. -Mary Dean, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

This salad is disgusting. The flavors are all wrong and the dressing is terrible.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. The dressing was too sweet for my taste.

This salad is a great make-ahead salad. I made it the day before my party and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a big fan of honey-mustard dressing, but I really liked the dressing on this salad. It's not too sweet or tangy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.
