Elevating the Main Course 

Give your dinners a gourmet twist with Little Red Wagon Granola. For a standout dish, try encrusting salmon fillets with a mixture of Little Red Wagon Original Granola, herbs, and citrus zest. A perfect balance of crunch and flavor that’s guaranteed to impress.  The granola provides a crunchy, nutty coating that complements the soft, flaky texture of the salmon, offering a delicious contrast and a beautiful presentation that’s sure to impress. Not a salmon fan? No problem. This simple yet delicious granola crust works wonders on chicken, pork chops, or even tofu, turning everyday meals into anything but ordinary.  

A New Take on Side Dishes

Looking to step up your side dishes? Granola adds a surprising crunch to roasted Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, or sweet potatoes. Try topping these veggies with a handful of our Big Apple Granola before serving. The warm spices, crisp texture, and hint of sweetness turn everyday veggies into a crave-worthy, sweet-and-savory masterpiece. Even picky eaters won’t be able to resist!  

Granola-Infused Salads

Granola adds a crave-worthy crunch to salads. Toss mixed greens with roasted beets, creamy goat cheese, and juicy sliced pear, then top it off with our Original granola for a nutty, flavorful finish. It’s the perfect balance of crisp, creamy, and sweet, turning a simple salad into a light yet satisfying meal or side that you’ll actually look forward to eating. A granola topping is a simple way to elevate a basic salad into a gourmet dish that’s as tasty as it is nutritious.

Tips for Incorporating Granola Into These Savory Dinner Ideas

1. Choose a complementary flavor: Little Red Wagon Granola comes in a variety of flavors. For savory dishes, we suggest our Original, Cosmopolitan, or Big Apple flavors.
2. Watch the Crunch: Add granola at the end of cooking or sprinkle it on just before serving to keep every bite crunchy and delicious.
3. Think outside the bowl: Don’t limit yourself to our suggestions! Try granola in stuffing, as a crunchy topping for creamy soups, or even mixed into homemade bread!

Holiday seasons are a reminder of warmth, laughter, and gatherings that bring us closer to those we love. With every invitation to a seasonal event comes an opportunity to express our appreciation to the hosts who open their homes and hearts. This year, instead of reaching for more predictable holiday hostess gift ideas, why not surprise your host with something unique, like Little Red Wagon Granola? 

Why Choose Granola?

At first glance, granola might seem like an unconventional choice, but that’s what makes it special. Little Red Wagon Granola is more than a mix of oats and honey; it’s a culinary adventure in a bag.

Seasonal offerings like the warmly spiced Pumpkin Patch create a bridge to holiday memories and traditions. 

The Art of Presentation

A thoughtful gift deserves a presentation that speaks volumes. Elevate a simple bag of granola by wrapping it in a festive cloth or packaging it in a reusable gift basket that doubles as a keepsake. Pairing your chosen flavor with a beautifully crafted serving spoon or an artisanal bowl can transform it into an instant breakfast station fit for any gourmet kitchen. These additional touches underscore the intentionality behind the gift.

Beyond the Breakfast Table

While granola is a staple at the breakfast table, its versatility extends far beyond the morning hours. Little Red Wagon Granola can serve as a crunchy topping for a decadent dessert. It can also serve as a hearty addition to a trail mix for an afternoon hike!  Sharing serving suggestions or a favorite recipe can turn your gift into a source of cooking or baking inspiration, inviting the host to explore new territories.
