It’s always nice to have something light  and fresh to break up the traditional heavy thanksgiving yumminess and this salad will definitely do that. What I love most about it is how colorful and seasonal it is! You can easily chop and prepare the dressing a day before and then toss everything together the day of Thanksgiving for easy & fast assembly!
