The salads, which are highly nutritious, are a dish that can be consumed both in hot and in the cold season. The difference is in the ingredients used and the particular flavor that is given in each period. Christmas Salads use ingredients like nuts, cream, pine nuts, dried fruit, olives, peanuts, bittersweet sauces, cherries and seasonal ingredients in every place in the world. In a good Christmas table there should always be a salad, so we offer six prescriptions for you to choose the one that best suits you.

    Great recipes! And even though we’re nowhere near the “holidays” right now, I was looking for some good salad recipes, so these should do just the trick! We’re getting married in a month, and I’ve been looking for new recipes for the reception!
