Festive Salad for Holidays and Celebrations (AIP – Paleo)

Festive Salad for Holidays and Celebrations - A Squirrel in the kitchenSummer is not the only time to eat fresh and colorful salads.  On the contrary, as the weather turns colder and the days shorter, I feel the need to bring a little bit of sunshine to my plate!  This festive salad is so colorful and refreshing, it is the perfect addition to any holiday meal or celebration spread.  The addition of a tasty strawberry vinaigrette also brings a little zing to tantalize your palate even further.

Strawberry Vinaigrette

The quantities given in the recipe are for 2 to 3 servings.  If you are preparing this festive salad for a bigger crowd, simple double or triple the quantities.  I would advise to keep the ingredients separated until the last minute in case you choose to prepare this salad ahead of time.  The strawberry vinaigrette will keep up to one week in the refrigerator.
