61 Thanksgiving Salad Recipes That (Almost) Rival the Turkey

These healthy Thanksgiving salad recipes are the holiday hero we need. Sure, turkey and stuffing may get all the glory, but even the most indulgent feast requires balance (a.k.a vegetables). Enter salad: the bright, bracing side dish you didn't know you needed until that first refreshing bite. The best part? Even a truly gigantic serving will still leave room for a piece of your aunt's famous marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole. We've got the salad course covered, from crunchy-creamy slaws and crisp shaved root vegetables to hearty roasted squash and plenty of Caesars. Go ahead and make a few of these Thanksgiving salad recipes, then pair the leftovers with tomorrow's roast turkey sandwich.
