Chilled Fruit Starter with Spicy Salsa
Your guests will love this refreshingly-different starter. Blend together strawberries, peaches, mangos, fruit juice, lemon and maple syrup. Ladle into small bowls and top with fresh salsa made with cucumber, herbs, jalapeno pepper and lime juice. Delicious.
Asparagus and Chevre Pizza
Asparagus and chèvre (also known as goat cheese) are a winning combination in this dish. Serve “pizza” as appetizers, cut into finger-size pieces or in larger portions with a salad. Be sure to cover tomatoes with chèvre so they do not darken too much.
Springtime Asparagus and Dill Soup
Adding the small amount of rice to the soup base adds body to the soup without overpowering the asparagus flavour. A welcoming, low fat soup that can be served year round.
Sweet & Spicy Peach Salsa
Spinach Tapenade Crostini
An updated version on the famous Provencal appetizer. Fresh vegetables, such as peppers, cucumber slices, fennel pieces can also be served with this spread. This is also excellent as a condiment or as an accompaniment to grilled chicken or fish.
