Red & White Salad

Hello Fit-NOW Friends!

Are you cooking for the holidays? Are you planning your menu? Here is a different salad to possibly try in your holiday menu this year. Eating Well shared the following recipe.

Bitter, sweet and peppery flavors marry well in this confetti-like salad of wintery fruit and vegetables.

8 servings, about 1 3/4 cups each

Active Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 cups thinly sliced hearts of romaine
• 2 heads Belgian endive, cored and thinly sliced
• 1 bulb fennel, trimmed, cored, quartered and thinly sliced
• 1 15-ounce can hearts of palm, drained, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
• 1/2 head radicchio, cored, quartered and thinly sliced

• 1 cup thinly sliced radishes
• Champagne Vinaigrette, (recipe follows)
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Champagne Vinaigrette

Whirring this champagne vinaigrette in the blender gives it a creamy consistency. If you don't have a blender, just mince the shallots, then whisk the ingredients in a medium bowl.

One of the comments mentioned to cut back on the shallot that it was to strong. I think it will just depend on your taste.

2/3 cup, for 8 servings

Active Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 shallot, peeled and quartered
• 1/4 cup champagne vinegar, or white-wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground pepper to taste

Enjoy!

Until Next time!
Keep healthy, keep safe and keep going!

Have an awesome day!
