I know you’re thinking “What are you on crazy lady? Salad and granola don’t go together!” Actually they do, and they do it well. I was playing around in the kitchen for our Thanksgiving dishes and this happy accident of a clementine salad just kind of happened. I had the clementines (so good right now!), the sliced almonds, and the dressing and ran across my stash of AboutTime granola. It’s soft, cinnamon-y, packed with protein and so yummy I have to hide a couple packets from my husband. Normally I either eat them solo or add them on top of my yogurt/oatmeal but I decided to try them on a clementine salad just to see. This clementine salad is so quick and delicious! With all the heavy options during Thanksgiving, this cinnamon citrus concoction is a sweet and light treat that will please all of your guests- even the little ones.
- 3 Clementines
- 1 bag Spring Mix
- 1/4 cup Sliced Almonds
- 1 packet AboutTime Granola Clusters
- Trader Joe’s Light Champagne Dressing for the adults and Trader Joe’s Light Raspberry Dressing for the kids
- Place the full bag of Spring Mix in a serving bowl.
- Peel and separate the clementines.
- Place clementines on the spring mix.
- Top with full packet of granola clusters and sliced almonds.
- And it should look like something below:
Hi! I'm visiting from the Peony Project. What a fabulous looking Thanksgiving salad! I should give this a try for our dinner just so I can know that I will have at least one healthy dish. 🙂
This sounds delicious! What a great way to provide a healthy side during Thanksgiving!
What a delicious salad. Pinning this for sure. Thank you for sharing.
I love easy and delicious! I'm putting this on our Thanksgiving menu.
interesting – granola, clementines, and salad greens together 😀
I love granola on salads! That extra crunch and sustenance is kinda awesome! 😛
I love the mix of orange and almonds! Always a great combo!
This sounds delicious! Granola is a lovely alternative to croutons here especially with the clementines.
I've never thought about putting granola in a salad, but it's a brilliant idea!
This looks delicious! I love all the colors.
Normally I would run away from something like this but this sounds SO GOOD! And now I can only think about how much I want a clementine! 🙂
This sounds like a really fun salad! And I didn't know AboutTime made granola….game-changer!
