Maytag Winter Salad
The Maytag Winter Salad is one of our favorite salads, not only for the fresh, flavorful taste, but also the nutritional benefits! It contains a variety of vibrant fruits and vegetables, including apples, cranberries, pomegranate, onion, and mixed greens, for a medley that contains numerous vitamins and antioxidants. To make this a filling main dish packed with protein, we recommend adding grilled chicken or a salmon fillet.

Simple and packed with nutrients, these Blue Cheese Brussels Sprouts are a can't-miss dish. Crispy Brussels sprouts are topped with melty Maytag Blue and bacon crumbles for an indulgent appetizer that is full of fiber and antioxidants. Roasting the sprouts brings out a natural sweetness, balanced with the creaminess of blue cheese for a satisfying bite.
