Notes

Tips for a great Thanksgiving Salad:

Use ingredients you love. Add things like dried cranberries, berries, nuts or whatever else you like to put in salads.
A little dressing goes a long way. You don't need to use a lot of the dressing to cover the salad. A lighter dressing goes great with this salad.
Do not add the dressing until you are ready to serve. When mixing the dressing with the salad you do not want the salad to get too soggy so mix it in when you are ready to eat it.
