Festive Salad – Supper in the Suburbs

This Festive Salad uses a range of seasonal vegetables, fruits and nuts for a delicious dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side. Get the recipe below.

My Festive Salad is the perfect dish for serving up over the holiday season. It’s made with Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, red onion, winter leaves, pecans, pomegranate and an orange and mustard dressing. I also add shavings of vegan Parmesan for extra indulgence.

This salad is everything a winter salad should be: it’s colourful, hearty, fresh, and just a little bit indulgent. Roasted vegetables bring warmth and depth, while crisp salad leaves, juicy pomegranate seeds, and crunchy pecans keep things bright and lively. It’s the kind of dish that looks beautiful on a holiday table but is simple enough to enjoy any night of the week.

The star of the show is the orange and mustard dressing. Sweet, tangy, and lightly sharp, it ties all the ingredients together and adds a seasonal citrus note that feels perfect for autumn and winter. Whether you’re serving this as a festive side dish, a light main, or part of a buffet spread, it’s guaranteed to impress without any stress.
