Day 1: July in Christmas

Learn the formula for turning salad into the ultimate winter comfort food!

Salads tend to be associated with summer because of their light and refreshing flavors that can help beat the heat. When winter comes around, we’re all looking for something a bit heartier that is comforting, yet still has fresh flavors and beautiful colors.

They crisp and crunch like no other; offer sweetness for all to enjoy; and bring beauty to everything they’re invited to. You know them, you love them: fruits and vegetables. Don’t you think it’s about time you made your holiday party offerings centered around them? We do too!

You may be able to list off an array of benefits for following a plant-based meal plan on the regular, but what about when you keep your plant-eating ways front and center during the holiday season?
