WINTER GREEN SALAD

Winter Green Salad image

People tend to forget to eat salads and other raw foods in the cold weather. This salad is a good way to get your greens by combining somewhat heartier salad textures. I find that this salad is filling enough to be a main course, with a bit of bread or some rice cakes on the side. It will also work as an appetizer in a smaller serving.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and kale, and they all worked perfectly in this recipe.

I've never been a fan of green salads, but this one changed my mind! The dressing was light and flavorful, and the goat cheese and walnuts added a nice touch of richness and crunch.
