87 Best Thanksgiving Salad Recipes to Round Out Your Holiday Table

Turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes usually get all the attention, but Thanksgiving salad should not be so easily overlooked. A light, crisp, refreshing salad helps to balance all of the heavy and rich dishes that usually adorn the Thanksgiving table, and many of them come together in a snap while your bird is resting after it roasts. Whether it's a simple iceberg salad drizzled with a creamy dressing and sheep's milk cheese, a peppery arugula salad with pecorino and plums, a lighter take on green bean casserole (with crispy shallots, naturally), or a more winter-forward slaw of kale and Brussels sprouts, all of the salads below will help tie the whole celebration together.
