7 Salads to Lighten Up Your Thanksgiving Feast

By Marian Bull.

We know: Thanksgiving is not the time to be virtuous with food choices. We’re all for second helpings of mashed potatoes and pies of every kind. We’re not telling you to eat salad for the sake of your waistline; we’re telling you for the sake of your palate. Because those perfectly constructed bites of turkey, potatoes, peas, cranberry sauce, and gravy are all the more satisfying when alternated with light bites of crunchy, crispy greens.

Bonus points? With all this healthiness happening on your plate, you’ll have more room for extra helpings of pie.
