Salmon Ceviche Wraps with Tomato Pineapple Salsa
Ceviche is a Latin method of “cooking” seafood by letting it marinate in acidic juices. It’s important that you use only sushi grade salmon for this preparation method. Using lettuce leaves for the wraps and stuffing them with a lively salsa assures this dish is exceptionally fresh tasting.
1/3 cup (80 mL) fresh lime juice
1/3 cup (80 mL) fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup (80 mL) orange juice
1 lb (450 g) fresh skinless salmon, cut into 1/2 in (1.25 cm) pieces
1 1/2 cups (350 mL) cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 avocado, diced
1 cup (250 mL) cubed pineapple
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1/3 cup (80 mL) fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup (60 mL) dried coconut flakes (optional)
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 tsp (1 mL) sea salt
12 large lettuce leaves, such as romaine or Boston
Stir together lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice in a flat container. Add salmon and marinate in refrigerator, flipping pieces at least once, for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 8 hours. Remove salmon from liquid and discard citrus juices.
For salsa, in large bowl, toss together tomatoes, avocado, pineapple, green onion, jalapeno, basil, coconut (if using), lime zest, lime juice, and salt.
Divide salmon among lettuce leaves and top with salsa before folding into wraps.

Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
This vegan take on classic shepherd’s pie is jam-packed with bold and rich flavours that will ensure no one will miss the meat. While a great source of fibre, lentils also contain the highest amount of folate out of all plant-based foods. Oven ready If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you’ll need to transfer cooked lentil filling to a baking dish before topping with mashed sweet potatoes and baking.
Roasted Cauliflower with Pecan Date Crumble
Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why. Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
Creamy White Bean Pasta
This gloriously comforting dish gets its creamy lusciousness from a can of white beans. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand instead of broccoli. Pass the pasta Instead of regular pasta, consider serving this sauce over zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, or cooked spaghetti squash.
Vegan Queso Dip
This nut-free take on classic queso dip is everything you want and more. Paired with chips, crackers, or crudités, this creamy, zesty, smoky, and oh-so-satisfying dip is easy enough to whip up for a cozy snack or as an appetizer for company. Go nuts! If you’re okay to eat nuts, try substituting sunflower seeds with 1 cup (250 mL) raw cashews.
