I adore salads…even during the winter months. The best winter salads are those that offer a refreshing change from the heavy meals we often eat during this time of year.
For a lighter, refreshing alternative to your hearty cold-weather meals (and to get you geared up for spring!) below are a few of the best winter salad recipes from around the web:
