Just a couple of weeks remain until Thanksgiving, until we’ll be gathered around a table filled with rich, comforting dishes. Sweet potato casserole, corn casserole, wild rice stuffing, crunchy broccoli salad…so many delicious things to eat!

So, where does a green salad fit in with all these delicious comfort food recipes? Sometimes it’s nice to have something fresh and green – something to contrast with all the heavier food. And surely you don’t want a bagged salad with bottled dressing – plus, which bottled dressings are even safe for those with multiple food allergies?

This salad, this crunchy green salad with a fresh, tangy dressing – this is definitely worthy of a place on your Thanksgiving table this year. Romaine hearts, red cabbage, and celery are crunch and healthy, dried cranberries add sweetness, and the garlic lemon dressing is just bursting with flavor.

And best of all, this salad is free of the top 8 allergens, and it’s so easy to make.

This flavorful salad is easy and impressive – make it for Thanksgiving or any gathering on your calendar – your guests will love it!
