We have an extra reason to be thankful this year, as we prepare to gather — safely! — with family and friends. We can’t wait to celebrate together, but we also remember how stressful it can be to host an epic holiday feast (especially a year out of practice). That’s why we’re making the most of our grocery runs to maximize convenience in the kitchen.

Food stylist Meg Quinn is known for creating magazine-worthy charcuterie boards and other dishes full of color and creativity, and Thanksgiving is a chance for her to pull out all the style stops. On a recent trip to Vons®, she picked up the ingredients for a show-stopping Thanksgiving potluck dish packed with texture and flavor: fall harvest burrata salad.

With Vons for U™, nearly every dollar Meg spends is redeemable for savings on groceries and gas, just in time for the busyness of the season. In her recent haul, she grabbed everything she needed to make this gorgeous autumnal salad, including O Organics pre-washed baby arugula and Fuji apples, plus pomegranate arils, persimmons, walnuts, and fresh burrata. Meg also picked up a bottle of O Organics Balsamic Vinaigrette: She serves the dressing in a stylish pitcher so that she can focus on assembling her edible work of art. It’s an easy way to save time without sacrificing flavor.
