winter salad Call me crazy, but I never think of the winter being a time for salads. To me, the winter is for soups and hearty meals and hot meals and hot tea and hot chocolate. Salads are for the spring and summer, the time of leafy greens and lighter dinners. Christmas is for turkeys and hams and mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.

But the people over at Cooks Recipes would certainly disagree with me. They've come up with a huge list of various salads that you can eat at Christmas. Most of them incorporate the flavors of the season, including the Cranberry Apple Salad, the Holiday Sweet Potato Salad, and Grandma's Winter Fruit Medley. Danish-Deli-Food.com has a Winter Salad made with figs, cabbage, oranges, and pecans that sounds interesting. But the Layered Lettuce Salad? Not festive enough.

Oh, and Ambrosia Mold sounds like the name of a Bond girl.

HI, Bob! Merry Christmas and all that jazz.

I will definitely try the cranberry-apple salad. My wife will swoon for it. Living in the South, West Texas to be precise, we have always had some kind of salad for christmas. One aunt always made this stuff with cream and marshmallows and lots of other goodies. I would pig the heck out on it! Another made a great lettuce and tomato salad garnished with radishes and green onions. A bit feisty on the tongue but I never left any behind.

Whatever your holiday traditions are, enjoy the food for all you are worth. Cherish your family because you never know when one or more of them might be taken away from you.

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Bless you this New Year from the city of Jerusalem, the city of Jesus Christ, although I am a Muslim youth, but this did not prevent the celebration of the new year and the birth of Jesus Christ-peace be upon him, I wish prosperity and happiness of all the inhabitants of the land and freedom for people in the occupied Palestinian territories.
