Mango Kale Salad with Lemon Honey Dressing
Massaging part of the dressing into the kale tenderizes the sometimes tough leafy green. This salad holds well for a few hours so no worries about the make ahead component!Tweet

Romesco Sauce
Originally a fish stew, this roasted tomato, pepper and garlic sauce thickened with almonds and bread is now served with just about anything – grilled Ontario rainbow trout or chicken, or as a dip for raw vegetables. Its bright colour and smoky flavour make it a popular Spanish sauce. If time permits, make ahead for flavours to develop.

Gazpacho Salad
With Ontario greenhouse vegetables, you can enjoy the flavours of this classic Spanish cold soup in a refreshing and healthy salad. To save a step, buy a bag of rustic croutons.

Apple Almond Custard Tart
Almonds are an important crop in Spain. A frozen pie shell saves a step, but if you prefer, make and bake a tart shell. This is best served the day it is made.

Cashew Chicken
An easy whip it up dinner, this classic stir-fry is perfect for celebrating Chinese New Year. Serve over rice or noodles.

Apple Honey Cake
A delicious blend of Indian spices plus Ontario apples and honey make this a great cake for snacking or dessert.
