Raise your hand if any of the scenarios below sound familiar:
1) Your four holiday food groups are rapidly becoming cookies, cake, chocolate and more cookies.
2) You’ve been invited yet again to Aunt Marge’s Christmas dinner, and you’ve been asked to bring a salad (yawn) for the 12th year in a row.
3) You’re headed to a friend’s swanky holiday appetizer and dessert party and you don’t have time to make a Buche de Noel (and don’t actually know what that means, let alone how to make one.)
4) You can’t stomach one more rich, 5,000-calorie Roast Beast with Gorgonzola Sauce dinner.
Well, you’re in luck!
No matter what situation you find yourself in this holiday season, we’ve got a fab, easy, healthy, delicious, beautiful CHRISTMAS SALAD WREATH that will impress all.
And bonus points…it’s actually good for you and takes about 5 minutes to create. Yes, it’s the perfect choice.
If only shopping for DADS could be that easy. Any suggestions in that area would be much appreciated. 😉
Enjoy your Christmas Salad Wreath, and have a MERRY, MERRY Christmas season!
