Kale and Grapefruit Salad with Buckwheat and Pumpkin Seed Granola

This is a refreshing kale salad highlighted by juicy red grapefruit. Thinly sliced kale and a slightly spicy dressing of garlic, grapefruit juice, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes give this spring salad a zingy flavour. The whole thing gets topped with a crunchy buckwheat and pumpkin seed granola for an interesting texture.

Halibut Tacos with Spicy Cilantro Pea Purée

This dish takes inspiration from two classic fish dishes―the mushy peas served with fish and chips and spicy fish tacos. We’ve made the peas fresh, bright, and a little spicy by using fresh or frozen peas, lots of fresh cilantro, serrano pepper, and lime juice. Combined with lightly marinated and baked halibut and topped with radishes and more cilantro, these tacos are satisfying and delicious.

Turkey and Collard Green Soup

Even though the weather’s warming up, there’s room in the still-cool days of spring for a delicious warming soup, especially one that includes young greens. Made with turkey and young collards, this soup has a light, fragrant broth flavoured with rosemary and thyme.

Snap Pea, Asparagus, and Quinoa Salad with Peanut Dressing

This crunchy salad features two of the stars of spring―snap peas and asparagus―in a mildly spicy peanut dressing. Mint, quinoa, cashews, and fresh mint make this salad tasty and hearty enough for a meal. The robust nature of the salad means it can be made ahead or kept for a day in the fridge in the unlikely case of leftovers.

Spicy Ginger and Garlic Braised Bok Choy with Egg and Rice

This is a quick and easy meal full of powerful flavour that you can throw together in minutes from a handful of cupboard ingredients. The starring green is delicate baby bok choy which is lavished with ginger, chili, and crispy garlic, then braised just enough to make it tender with a bit of a bite. Serve it on green onion-studded rice, top it with an egg, and you’re done.

Chicken Salad Sandwich with Peppery Arugula Dressing

Get plenty of greens with this chicken salad, which gets a boost of green goodness via a peppery arugula dressing made with yogurt, lemon zest, and a hint of goat cheese. And because a classic chicken salad always needs a bit of crunch, there’s lots of green celery and some walnuts too. Serve it open-faced or in a sandwich topped with additional fresh arugula.
