Christmas Eve Salad {with Apples, Oranges, Craisins, Almonds, & Feta}

Christmas Eve at my in-laws is a very casual night, with a big potluck, games, and Christmas carols. The past few years, we've brought this salad (a recipe from my mom), and it's been a huge hit. We usually have this in the summer, but with the dried cranberries and citrus, it felt festive enough for the holidays. 

Christmas Eve Salad

Fills 1 large bowl

Mix:

6-8 cups chopped greens (I use Romaine and Red Leaf lettuces)

2 stalks chopped celery

1/2 bunch chopped green onions

2 chopped apples (I use Fuji)

1 can mandarin oranges

1 cup Craisins

4 oz. feta cheese

1 cup silvered almonds (can be caramelized)

For the dressing, whisk together:

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar

1 T. chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp. dried)

1 T. sugar

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

I could eat this salad every day, I love it so much. Almost as much as Aunt Karen's Christmas Eve fudge.

Hope you are enjoying your holidays!
