With almost nothing to prep, I make this recipe when I don’t have time, but still want to wow my guests. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, plus all kinds of great crunchy textures, really make this a winner.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 8 ounces romaine lettuce

  • 4 ounces shredded red cabbage

  • 1 mango, diced

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

  • 1 cup lightly crushed sweet potato chips

  • 3/4 cup crispy fried onions (such as French’s)

Maple Lime Dressing

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

Prepare the Salad

1.

Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.

2.

Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add dressing just before serving; toss to combine.

Variation:

When pomegranate seeds are not in season, use dried cranberries or dried cherries instead. Plan Ahead: Dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Salad should be assembled fresh.

The lettuce is underneath the toppings and then before serving you’d dress the salad and mix it or serve dressing on the side.

We cannot use maple syrup, lime juice and the garlic because it does not agree with my husband, is there any other no sugar or sharp flavored dressing that we could replace for this one
Thank you

You can really use anything you like that is crunchy. Dried chickpeas, another vegetable or you can skip it 🙂
