Right around this time every year, I start dreaming about sunny skies and warm and tropical beaches. The temperatures have been frigid lately making it too cold for us to go outside much, so I’ve been trying to brighten up all of our meals with lots of color and refreshing flavors.

This is a bright and beautiful salad that you can put together quickly with ingredients that can easily be swapped out for what you have on hand.

It starts off with some red cabbage tossed in a light and refreshing honey-lemon vinaigrette to soften the leaves slightly and soak up the tangy flavor.

Combined with spicy arugula, sweet oranges, refreshing cucumbers, buttery chickpeas and sweet and tart pomegranate arils makes this a tangy, crisp, and colourful accompaniment to almost any meal.

You can serve it alongside comforting chili in the winter, or bring it to a picnic barbecue in the summer.  Since I always love salads with avocado, I sliced one up and added it in here as well.

A healthy and pretty salad that is perfect to brighten up your spirits and help you stay on-track after all the holiday indulging 🙂
