Christmas Vegetable Salad image

My sister gave me this recipe at a family gathering one year, and I've been making her colorful, crisp salad for holiday get-togethers, dinner parties and potlucks ever since. This festive salad travels well and holds up beautifully on the buffet table, so it's ideal for making ahead. Serve it in a clear bowl so everyone can see the pretty color combination. -Mary Dean, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I roasted the vegetables and made the dressing ahead of time, and then just assembled the salad before serving. It saved me a lot of time on Christmas Day.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the roasted vegetables and the sweet cranberries. I sneak in some extra veggies, like shredded carrots and zucchini, and they don't even notice.

I love the roasted vegetables in this salad. They're so flavorful and tender. I also like the addition of dried cranberries and goat cheese. They add a nice touch of sweetness and tanginess.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, so I used crumbled feta cheese instead. It was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I had some roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, and I tossed them with some dried cranberries, goat cheese, and a simple vinaigrette. It was a delicious and healthy lunch.

I'm not a huge fan of Brussels sprouts, but I loved them in this salad. The roasting process really mellows out the flavor, and the combination of sweet and savory ingredients is perfect. I will definitely be making this salad again.
