Looking for salads for Thanksgiving dinner? This curated collection of sweet, savory and and always scrumptious Thanksgiving salads will delight your guests and help you make memories with your family. Some of them are nostalgic classics, so you can bring a touch of the past to your holiday table.

What makes these salads perfect for the holiday? They’re packed with the vibrant flavors and colors of the fall—deep red cranberries, golden roasted vegetables and rich greens—and they incorporate seasonal produce, like apples, pears, pomegranates and sweet potatoes.

The salads in this collection also have a dynamic sweet-savory balance, with fresh and dried fruit adding sweetness and ingredients like bacon and feta adding a bold savory element. And all the fresh herbs! Thyme, sage, or rosemary infuse each salad with aromatic flavors, while spices like cinnamon or nutmeg evoke the warmth of fall.
