The Warm Salads
This Thanksgiving, switch things up by serving a warm salad as a cozy, comforting side dish. These salads combine hearty ingredients like roasted squash, crispy potatoes, and frisée with bold, tangy dressings that complement classic holiday flavors.
Try our Warm Squash and Arugula Salad with Grapefruit-Honey Vinaigrette for a touch of sweetness, a Warm Salad with Crispy Potatoes for satisfying crunch, or a Frisée Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette for a rich, savory twist in the form of warm vinaigrette. Warm salads are the perfect way to add seasonal greens to your holiday spread while keeping things festive and flavorful.
The Crunchy Veggies
We wouldn’t be us if we didn’t include a colorful veggie or two on our menu. Each of these salads and slaws features seasonal fruits and veggies (apples, carrots, Brussels, radicchio) and is sure to brighten up the table.
Simple Salads
Think: 5-10 ingredients (or less!) to add color, crunch and vibrancy to your table. The perfect first course before heavy side dishes and filling poultry are passed.

Hearty Salads
Or, if you’re interested in more robust salads that double as side dishes, try one of these filling salads. For even more protein, consider adding white beans or bacon.

Crunchy Slaws
Like the simple salads, these slaws call for few ingredients but lots of taste. Plus, the cutting method (thinly sliced and diced) calls for a crunchy bite with lots of taste and texture.
