It's a salad to end all salads. The Fall Harvest Salad is equal parts beautiful and delicious and while it looks fancy - it couldn't be easier to throw together!
In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a pretty big fan of colorful salads. They make the world a better place and I've been saving this one for the Thanksgiving feast! Now that we're about 2 weeks away... it's go time! Piles and piles of delicious fruits and vegetables topped with a balsamic vinaigrette make this the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving feast! Make it now, freak out, and then 100% make it again for Thanksgiving. Your friends and family will be crazy impressed.
