Eat + Drink: Winter Salads

Who says that salad season has to end once the snow starts to fall? Frankly, this is the time of year when everyone (including me) could use a few salads to negate the sweet treats, bubbly drinks and indulgent dinner party fare.

So if you are also trying to keep the bulge at bay, keep these winter salads in your wheelhouse. On the contrary, if you are planning on becoming a holiday heavyweight and you have decided that this is your time to stuff as many tasty treats in your mouth as quickly as possible (I'm not embarrassed to admit that I've been there too), then save these recipes for the first chilly winter months of 2013!

Winter Wheat Berry Salad with Figs and Onions from the kitchn

Greek Chickpea Salad in a Mason Jar from Daily Muse

Hearty & Spicy Winter Salad from A House in the Hills

Winter Panzanella from 5 and Spice

I hope that you are having a very happy and maybe even somewhat healthy holiday! Cheers!
