Pear Pomegranate Mandarin Winter Salad

November 10, 2020 By Valya of Valya's Taste of Home 2 Comments

During cold and gloomy winter days, we need a little brightness on our table and in our day. How about this bright and colorful Pear Pomegranate Mandarin Winter Salad loaded with some late-season harvested fruit?

It offers not only a beautiful array of colors on your table but adds a variety of flavors and nutrition, which tends to decline during the winter season. It also happens to be very delicious!

The ingredients really mend together well. Bacon, feta cheese, and toasted almonds add so much scrumptious flavor to this salad. I tried this recipe not too long ago and it’s quickly become a popular pick for holiday menus.

Most of the fruit and vegetables can be prepped ahead of time, except for the pears (which should be cut immediately prior to serving, as they brown fast). Serve and enjoy with any main course.

Is there anything more comforting food than mashed potatoes? It never gets old at our house. I really wanted to post this quick, creamy, and delicious Instant Pot version of it before Thanksgiving to save you time in the upcoming holiday cooking! You know what is the most important thing I absolutely love about making mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot? Once you mash the potato with a hand mixer (or a potato masher) it can be kept in the pot on warm cycle for hours. The taste and texture are the same as it was just freshly mashed!
