I always bring the greens. Putting together what has been one of my favorite salads for the past few years for the holidays. It’s @heidijswanson Heirloom Apple salad and it’s 100% delightful. I use a bitter green combo of arugula and radicchio to balance the many sweet flavors of the traditional thanksgiving meal (meat, root vegetables, starches, grains, pies). All five flavors should be present in your meal but make especially sure you include something bitter and sour on this holiday as they will ⚖️ balance the scale of sweetness & 🧪 stimulate your liver to release bile for fat digestion. Digestion starts in the mouth🧡. Side note: you also have a wonderful opportunity with cranberry sauce to make it on the tart/raw side instead of sweet. Do this! It creates a great flavor balance to your meal. Happy meal planning. ❤️.
