Spring Recipes

With spring eventually coming, what better way to think about your vitamins and calories then creating some great delicious salads? Chinweoke mentioned how to get your vitamins in food and vegetables are loaded with them. By adding a little bit of fat, like a heart healthy canola oil, to your vegetables it helps the absorption of the fat soluble A, D, E and K vitamins.

I love grilling, or I love it when my husband grills. It just tastes somehow better off of the BBQ. The Super Salmon Salad can be made on the grill or in the oven. A great tip for oiling the grill, is to roll up a ball of tin foil, dip or spray canola oil on it and using long BBQ tongs to hold the tin foil, rub the hot grill with the canola oiled tin foil.

The Super Salmon Salad was featured on the Great Tastes of Manitoba cooking show. You still can enter the Kitchen Aid contest. It is on until May 16, 2009, the last show of the season. Watch the show and write or email in to enter the contest.

The salad can be served as a main course or use smaller portions for nice lunch. It is a great recipe for entertaining. The Super Salmon Salad will be featured in the Great Tastes of Manitoba Cookbook this fall. Watch for more details later this summer on the launch of the book and where to pick it up.
