Happy Tuesday Friends! Today, I wanted to share this scrumptious fall/winter salad with you. This salad could be a healthy, colorful addition to your Thanksgiving dinner! Who said all Thanksgiving dishes have to be laden in tons of calories?! Do you ever add fruit to your salads? I have made salads in the past with apple, cranberries, and pear; but I’ve been wanting to try pomegranate! Oh. my. goodness. Who knew they were such a delicious addition?! I love the mixture of the tart-sweet pomegranate arils with the buttery squash and tangy vinaigrette.
