Let’s talk Christmas. More specifically, let’s talk Christmas food. Around this time of year, almost everyone is on the lookout for new recipes and ideas to prepare for their Christmas lunch.

I’m the same. But when I try to search for ‘Christmas Desserts’ on Pinterest, all I get is iced biscuits, fudge and all sorts of cakes decorated like white Christmas with edible snowflakes and snowmen.

Apple, Rocket & Pine Nut Salad – A Festive Christmas Side For Glazed Ham

December is just around the corner and with that, Christmas! In Australia, that usually means a Christmas Lunch full of delicious and fresh food, including some delicious seafood and mouthwatering salads. Where I live, it’s usually 40°c and no one is in any hurry to be lining up for a steaming plate of boiling hot baked potatoes or roast veggies. No, we eat salad at Christmas. Cold, fresh salads.
