Use the recipe below as guide. Here, I’ve used both vinegar and fresh citrus in my favorite shallot vinaigrette, but you if you don’t have an orange on hand, you can keep it simple. Here, cabbage and fennel are mixed with some tender greens and baby kale, but change the composition to your liking: slivered endive would be delicious as would thinly sliced apple or pear or segments of orange or a sprinkling of pomegranate arils. Shaved Manchego (though blue cheese or parmesan would be nice, too) plus the candied pepitas make the dregs of this salad pretty irresistible. I don’t think a Thanksgiving salad needs to be anything more than greens plus a light dressing, but if you’re up for taking it a step further, this is a good option.
