Thanksgiving Pomegranate Salad

Molly Rose

THE DAILYRECIPES

Truth be told, the things I look forward to the most on Thanksgiving are the veggie sides. I love me some brussels, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and of course a festive salad. My favorite Thanksgiving salad is something that I have been indulging in for the last five years and has become somewhat of a tradition in my house. I only make it once a year so that it remains a special staple. It is the perfect combination of sweet, crunchy, salty, and happiness. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.  

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes cubed
  • 4 cups baby salad (I use spring mix and butter lettuce)
  • 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
  • ¼ cup toasted pistachios
  • 1 handful chopped cilantro
  • 2 scallions chopped
  • Olive oil and salt for roasting the potatoes

Dressing Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp organic cold pressed olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 teaspoons organic local honey
  • 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
  • Sea Salt and Fresh Pepper to taste

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Lay your cubed sweet potatoes on a lined sheet pan
  • Drizzle in olive oil, salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25 minutes (until edges start to brown)
  • For the dressing, whisk together all of the ingredients and taste test. Option to add more salt.
  • Make your salad in this order: lettuce on the bottom, potatoes, on top of lettuce, scallions, pistachios, and pomegranate on top.
  • Snap a photo! It’s too pretty not to.

The 4 Best Adaptogens for Managing Stress 
We’ve all experienced the pressure and stress that comes with modern life (especially before, during, and after the holidays). A quick power nap and a cup of coffee are commonly used options that combat a busy schedule. While those are okay options here or there, if they are implemented every day, they can mess up our natural circadian rhythm and possibly cause more harm than good. Yikes. Before resorting to stimulants like excessive caffeine or energy drinks, what about incorporating some rejuvenating herbs into the mix?

Recipe: Corn-free Corn Bread
While I don’t recommend eating corn or corn products to any of the Molly Rose Health clients, I do understand that they can be absolutely delicious, soul warming comfort foods. . Traditional corn breads are loaded with inflammatory foods like butter, milk, cream, sugar, canola oil and not to mention the worst of them all: corn.
