(Family Features) As holiday guests arrive full of cheer in anticipation of a mouthwatering meal, you can start the celebration with a light yet flavorful salad that looks as delicious as it tastes. Start with a signature ingredient like grapes, which can elevate festive dishes from appetizers and cocktails to sides, main courses and desserts.
This Lemony Grapes and Greens Salad offers an easy, impressive dish featuring Grapes from California with their crisp, juicy burst of flavor to complement a homemade lemon vinaigrette adorning mixed greens, slivered onions, diced avocado and pistachios. Available into January, fresh California grapes are a perfect solution for the holiday season.
Don’t forget: You can also elevate the aesthetic appeal of your gathering by using fresh California grapes as decor by draping them along the dining room table, using them to fill vases and complement floral arrangements or freezing them to use as homemade ice cubes in cocktails.
