Thanksgiving 2017: 100 Days of Real Food’s Simple Grapefruit Salad
This week, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes from friends whose work I admire. These will be on our table, as I love to keep it festive, fun and light.
Diet is no longer one size fits all either—with the rates of diabetes, food allergies, food sensitivities and more, along with friends and family members who are vegan, I’ve learned to offer something for everyone.
I’ve also watched hosts get totally bogged down in the prep and spoil their own holidays never coming up for air. Keep in mind that your guests are coming to nourish their hearts as much as they are coming to nourish their bellies!
So these recipes are from friends and partners, some I’ve known for almost a decade. You will impress your guests, keep it fresh and also have fun. What could be better!
This Simple Grapefruit Avocado Salad is from my amazing friend, Lisa, at 100 Days of Real Food. Enjoy!
