Who doesnt love a good Thanksgiving spread?
Im always so used to a Thanksgiving plate being all heavy items, says Biegel in her IG story.
And I think it really benefits from having a nice light salad like this.
The lemon really cuts through all the fat of everything else thats on the table.
Chopped dates for a little sweetness and chopped almonds for a little crunch, she adds.
Is This Recipe Healthy?
