Episode 54: 5 winter salads you’ll want to make on repeat!

Food Friends Podcast: Home Cooking Made Easy

What does it take to make a SALAD that’s truly CRAVE-WORTHY?

If you love salad but feel uninspired when it comes time to make one, tune in to hear our best tips for creating a delicious salad even in the dead of winter. We’re discussing and debating the different approaches we each take to create layers of flavor and texture that yield irresistible results. Seasonal ingredients like fennel, celery, radicchio, and cabbage offer crunch, and are born to be mixed with toasty nuts, rich cheeses, and punchy vinaigrettes. These salads are so good it’s hard to put the fork — or spoon — down!

This episode will have you running to your local farmers’ market or favorite grocery store to pick up vibrant seasonal veg and create new favorite salad combinations in your kitchen.

Join us in winter salad heaven!
