The Best Salads in Winter
As you will see from the recipes below, seasonal produce is am important element of a good winter salad. You can have a healthy salad that shines with winter produce instead of the typical ingredients you might see more heavily in summer.
Types of Seasonal Produce in Winter
Of course, seasonal produce varies by month. Generally, in the December through February months, you will easily find spinach, radicchio, fennel, leeks, turnips, kale, Brussels sprouts, etc.
For fruit, this is actually a time of citrus! Who knew?! Grapefruits, lemons, and oranges abound!
Obviously, some of these things can be found year-round in grocery stores.
