Christmas is my second favorite time of the year (I love summer sooooo much!!!) and I like to make and enjoy delicious meals with my loved ones, but Christmas is not only about food and as we only have one body we need to take care of ourselves.
It’s okay to eat some especial treats, but you don’t have to stuff your face with unhealthy foods to enjoy the holidays, there are so many healthy and tasty recipes you can make! Start your Christmas meal with a healthy salad, that way you’ll nourish your body with good food and you’ll make better choices.

Tips:

This vegan Christmas salad is unbelievable! It’s delicious, super easy to make and perfect for especial occasions.
Ingredients
- 6 handfuls of leafy greens (I used 4 handfuls of lollo rosso lettuce and 2 handfuls of curly endives)
- 1/2 pomegranate
- 1 diced red apple
- 2 chopped tangerines
- 1/2 julienned red onion
- 8 chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds (60 g)
For the salad dressing:
- 4 tbsp orange juice
- 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a large bowl.
- To make the salad dressing you just need to blend all the ingredients in a blender. You can also mix them in a bowl, using a knife, but I prefer to blend them.
- Serve the salad with the dressing. Add the dressing just before eating the salad or the leafy greens will go soggy.

I’m going to make it . Can I make the dressing the day before
Hi Patricia! You can, but as it’s made in about 2 minutes, I think it’s better to make it just before serving 🙂
