Happy Christmas Eve Eve!! Hello and Happy Holidays! Are you looking forward to a fun and relaxing holiday season? Today I’d like to share with you a recipe for a delicious salad called Christmas Salad đđ. Called this because of the green, red and white in the salad đ.
About the recipe
I had this delicious kale and beets salad at our cousin’s holiday party recently. Made by niece Vidya, she called it a Christmas salad because of all the holiday colors in the salad – green kale, red beets, and white feta đ. Really flavorful, hearty and so pretty this salad is. Give it a try this holiday season!
