Looking for something new and different to try on your holiday table?  This is a staple side dish on our Thanksgiving table and makes a nice salad side any time of the year. It is light, refreshing, and a crowd pleaser and a great way to get some of your daily fruit servings in!  You can include some healthier, nutrient-dense dishes – think fruits, leafy greens, beans, peas - along with the heavier holiday favorites to add bulk while bringing down the overall calorie bang of your meal.
