Summer Salads with Spinach
May has finally arrived and we can finally find some of our favourite ingredients back in the supermarket - spinach, strawberries, beets to just name a few. As you may know, we try to eat as much local and seasonal food as possible as it is not only fresher and healthier but it also produces less waste, supports local businesses and supports sustainable agriculture. The less your food has traveled to come to you the better.
The quarantine mood (cooking every day and having to be on calls all the time) + the warmer weather really got us into the salad fever as they are so simple and delicious to make. Here are our favourite three spring salads.
