Each year during the holiday season my family, friends and I enjoy exploring new food selections for a festive and hearty Thanksgiving. I thought for some time… what different main entree, side dish or dessert can I introduce for further exploration this year. After more consideration and additional input from loved ones, we decided since salads are versatile and fun let’s go with a salad to compliment our holiday brunch or dinner tables… Salads can be either a main course, a small plate or sweet treat. I have prepared and served each kind of salad for the holidays and for other occasions. Therefore, I have a wide selection of salads, warm and cool, within my Natural Food Art Cafe menu collection.

For the last several years, I’ve shared my own recipes for foods I knew many of you would enjoy preparing, making and , of course, eating. This year I decided to let you all come up with your own recipes for a warm or cool, colorful, cheerful and charming salad to become the center piece on your dining table… or a small plate to compliment your main dish… or simply a yummy sweet dessert. To help you out I’ll give you ideas I am sure will inspire your own creative mind.

Here are a variety of salads I’ve made throughout the years for different occasions… These are small plate/ small bite servings… (Below)

I also hope these salads inspired you and will have you include a scrumptious salad on your table for this Thanksgiving or for any occasion during this holiday season. My family and I have always enjoyed having a salad for brunch, dinner or dessert. They are simple and fun to make and absolutely worth your time, taste buds and tummy… Enjoy your holidays… BIG SMILE.

We have the capacity and potential to always be a blessing in our own lives, in the lives of others and in this magical and magnificent world of ours…
