Wreath-shaped food seems to be quite popular this holiday (2025) season so I used some of the ideas on the Internet and adapted them to create our own version. So, this post is not so much of a recipe as an assembly method . . . and a reminder for me about how I created the salad. The ideas are endless . . . add other fruits, nuts or seeds, or even use vegetables instead of fruit.
Festive Holiday Wreath Salad
Mixed greens
Additions: these are the ones I used:
Clementines, peeled and sectioned
Pomegranate seeds
Green onions, cut into thin rounds
Sugared pecans — add pecans to a dry, stick-free skillet set on medium temp; throw in
some granulated sugar and stir until sugar crystalizes and then melts. Transfer
immediately to wax paper to avoid sticking.)
Other additions:
Cucumber for the bow — make thin slides with a madoline and then fold in half for
the bow, wrapping a thin piece of another cucumber slice around the center (I did
secure on the back with a piece of toothpick). Then cut another cucumber strip in half
and make V’s on one end of each and arrange below the bow.
- Put a glass in the center of a round platter and then place mixed greens around the edge of the platter.
- Arrange additions over greens.
- Top with cucumber bowl.
- Serve with dressing, allowing everyone to dress their own salad.
