    If you need something a little lighter to break up the holiday roasts, try this fresh salad with a crunchy pumpkin seed topping.

    The dressing is the perfect balance of citrus and mayonnaise, and the whole dish comes together in just a few minutes – it’s perfect for a quick lunchtime side dish. And with the clementines taking center stage, it gives you a nice touch of winter flavor even in a pile of greens.

    Green Salad With Clementine Dressing

    If you’ve never tried making your own mayonnaise, now is the time to do it: try it out in the salad dressing, and then try to stop yourself from putting it on everything else in the kitchen!

    It’s really not that complicated – here’s the basic recipe, and here are some additional tips if it doesn’t quite work out the first time.

    The salad itself doesn’t make a meal, so pair this one with a quick protein like pan-seared scallops or a grilled chicken breast and a filling bowl of soup: dinner (or lunch) is served.
