HEARTY GREENS: Fresh, crisp greens are IT. Kale, spinach, cabbage, arugula, collard greens, and shredded Brussels sprouts are perfect for salads and starters. Create a vibrant, seasonal salad by mixing hearty greens like kale, Swiss chard, or collard greens with colorful elements such as pomegranate seeds, candied pecans, and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle with a festive cranberry vinaigrette.
CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES: Enhance your side dishes with the wholesome goodness of these vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. These nutrient-packed options not only make things quite colorful but also enrich your holiday feast.
PUMPKINS/YAMS/WINTER SQUASHES: Roast these yummy seasonal gems in bulk and have them on hand for mashes, fries, spreads, and more. Whether as a stuffing or a dish, these not only add a bold burst of color but also a subtle sweetness to each holiday meal.
