after-meal beverage that is not coffee. White coffee from Lebanon isn’t even coffee. It is a straightforward concoction of hot water, orange blossom water, and spiced honey.

Definitely don’t wait til Christmas to make this salad! It’s delicious, and would be great any time of the year! I used baby spinach for the greens, and a homemade balsamic. You can serve this salad alone as a light lunch, or pair it with a protein (I served it alongside some baked chicken thighs) for an easy supper too. Great recipe, thank you so much for sharing!
This is so easy and always such a hit!!!!!!!!!!
This was a hit on Christmas Eve I added A jar of pickled beats to it.Raspberry salad dressing and a shaved Parmesan cheese it was delicious everybody loved it
One of the best salads. Need to cut the salad ingredients in half if you are serving as a side dish. Do not skimp on the salad dressing. I substituted with raspberry vinaigrette and craisins as another reviewer suggested. Many compliments – I am from the Northwest.
I really liked this and so easy to make. I used butter lettuce. I’ll be serving this all year ’round.
Excellent! Don’t feel guilty for making something so easy. This is a world class salad and a great show at the dinner table. We made it for Thanksgiving. I used Gerard’s Champagne dressing. It was light and perfectly matched so all the flavors were shining. Dried cherries are expensive! In this case, I think they are important to the salad.
Simple. Easy. Good!
Not sure why this is called Christmas salad, there’s no reason not to make this all year round. This was SO GOOD! Made exactly as directed over mixed baby romaine, I will be making this recipe over and over again. Both hubby and I raved on this. Try it!
Simple, pretty and easy! I served with crab quiche and my family couldn’t stop raving about the entire meal. Perfect for holiday dinners when a regular salad just won’t do.
My family raved about this salad. I made the dressing a day ahead so all the ingredients could “marinate” overnight. I was rushed so skipped using the food processor. I used one shallot instead of the onion and used my garlic press instead of chopping the shallot, dried cranberries instead of cherries and just thoroughly whisked all the ingredients together. Super fast and so delicious! Thank you for sharing this top-notch recipe.
Very delicious! I love to make this at Christmas time. Enjoyed it just as written. Thank you!
I made this salad exactly as written. Easy to make & very tasty! The family loved it!
I made this twice in a week. I love it! I just used romaine lettuce.
Try it with craisins and add raspberry vinaigrette. Yummy!
This was an AWESOME receipe! I loved how quick it was to prepare and the taste was OUTSTANDING!
