So you have been asked to “bring a salad” to the family Christmas festivities this year.

Don’t worry dahlink. I’m here to help.

No need to explain. I’m fully aware of the socio-politically charged minefield that is “bring a salad” on Christmas Day. And don’t even get me started on the lingering shame of of a Christmas Day salad fail.

I want you to know that there will be no Christmas Day salad fails for you this year.
NOT ON MY WATCH.

But we both know the challenges that lay ahead…

The Christmas Day salad-bringer is the Christmas Day underdog.

But we both know your Christmas Day salad has to compete with seafood, turkey, ham (pre-Boxing Day ham, before everyone is thoroughly sick of it). And THE PAV! The pav that everyone wants to save room for.

You’ve got your work cut out for you, babe.

You know you need to try something different this year or your sister-in-law with her seafood platter or your mother-in-law with her mangomiso-pavlova-fusion-dessert-in-the-shape-of-a-Christmas-wreath will WIN CHRISTMAS.

And we simply can not have that. Not for Christmas 2018.

I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN TO YOU.

We are going to run through an array of ideas for salads, from old-school to innovative, and from super-speedy to ornate and fabulous.

Salads that can be served with traditional-turkey-with-all-the-trimmings Christmas Days.

Salads that can be served with seafood and cold cuts Christmas Days.

Salads that can be served with beach-and-barbie Christmas Days.

They will taste amazing.

They will look amazing. Because we eat with our eyes, and the Gen Y’s (plus Aunty Janice) will want to stand on their chairs and Instagram the table.

They will travel well and stand up to hours on the table.

We will show you:

Quirky tweaks for old faves.
Some adorable presentation ideas (that haven’t been completely done-to-death on Pinterest).
Tips for transporting your masterpiece.
