Curry Potato Salad with Sweet Peas

By //  by Candace Sampson 8 Comments

I love potato salad. To me it's not just a side for picnics, it's a meal. Through the school year, I routinely make potato salad to cover school and work lunches. So when Patak's asked me to try a recipe from their amazing online cookbook Smoke & Spice, I jumped at the opportunity to make their Samosa Inspired Potato Salad. To me, it's a Creamy Curry Potato Salad with Sweet Peas and the taste is absolutely mind-blowing. You'll love the sweet and mildly spicy taste of this salad and …

Apple Bacon Spinach Salad

By //  by Anne Radcliffe 4 Comments

I can just about guarantee we're not going to be gifted with an Indian Summer this year; I can smell fall in the air already. The trees have begun to turn colours here and there, and while we had a *SURPRISE* hot couple of days finally, in the evening the temperatures are chilly. School starts next week, and apple season in Ontario begins right shortly.  Apples are a staple at my house. I'm more of a citrus gal, myself, but my family are hardcore apple fans. Every year we'll plow through a …

Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Horseradish Dressing

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Horseradish Dressing. Sort of just rolls off the tongue doesn't it? Probably because there is so much that's right about this salad, like steak cooked to your liking (I like mine run through a warm room), paired with blue cheese and horseradish, both perfectly suited for steak and crisp green salad with juicy cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber and red onion. Not to mention this salad is ridiculously easy to put together AND it's also impressive company fare. Yeah, …

Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

Every time I make this Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad, I say to myself, "Self, why don't you make this more often?!". This salad is quite possibly my favourite green salad but since picking a favourite recipe is like picking a favourite child I remain firmly non-committal on the topic. What I really love about this Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad is that it's perfect as a side with so much. It's great with steak or fish, and I love it all on it's own for lunch! Crunchy Asian Sesame …
