Fresh berries belong in your salad 🍓🫐

Published 6 days ago • 1 min read • Recipes

Hi Reader,

Berry season is here, and I have two new salad recipes to share this week.

Both feature fresh summer berries and come together quickly as a side dish or a light lunch. 🍓🫐

If the idea of fruit in a savoury salad sounds a little odd, don't worry. The berries actually add a nice pop of sweetness that balances out the other flavours really well.

Summer Kale Salad

This massaged kale salad has fresh blackberries and strawberries, crunchy cashews and sunflower seeds, and a honey Dijon dressing. Ready in 20 minutes.

MAKE THIS RECIPE

A wooden bowl full of baby spinach, fresh berries, goat cheese crumbles and toasted pecans, next to a glass jug of raspberry vinaigrette, a pepper mill, a can of forks and wooden salad servers.

Berry Spinach Salad

This baby spinach salad has strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, creamy goat cheese, and roasted pecans, tossed in a homemade raspberry vinaigrette.

How to store fresh berries

Before storing, remove any mouldy berries and discard them. Keep the rest in a clean, dry container with a piece of paper towel at the bottom to absorb moisture. If you bought them in a plastic clamshell, they can stay in that. Rinse well right before eating.

The savoury secret to Canada’s favourite cocktail 🍅

Hi Reader, I hope you’ve had a wonderful week! We celebrated Canada Day here on Wednesday, and I know many of my readers in the US are heading into a big holiday weekend right now. Whether you are firing up the grill or just settling into a relaxing Friday night, I have the perfect drink to kick back with.

A platter of tuna Nicoise salad topped with jammy eggs.

🥗 Two healthy and delicious salads (without lettuce)

Hi Reader, I hate to admit it, but I'm not a big fan of lettuce-based salads. Never have been. But a veggie-loaded salad with potatoes? Pass the plate!

I acknowledge that a traditional Nicoise doesn't include boiled vegetables (and some people feel very strongly about this), but this version follows in the footsteps of cooks like Julia Child, who popularized the addition of...
