Holiday Salad

If you’re in need of a holiday dinner salad that is both flavorful and plates beautifully, this is a wonderful one. It’s very rich, holding its own alongside decadent mains like prime rib and lobster. Did I mention it’s very easy to assemble?

Dressing:

  • 1/4-1/2 C lemon juice (to taste)

  • 2-4 tsp honey (to taste)

  • 1/2 C olive oil

  • 2 tbsp minced shallots

  • 4 tbsp Dijon mustard

Salad:

  • Leafy greens (hearty varieties are best with this dressing)

  • Avocado

  • Roquefort blue cheese (like Ina says, the good kind!)

  • Pomegranate arils

  • Crisped prosciutto, broken into bite-sized pieces (pop in the oven on a parchment lined baking sheet for 10 minutes, or until a bit browned and crispy, at 400)
