Vibrant and nutritious, this salad combines crunchy veggies, protein-packed quinoa, and creamy avocado, all tossed in a zesty homemade vinaigrette. The combination of beets and carrots adds a pop of colour and natural sweetness, making each bite both delicious and visually appealing. Prepare it in advance, and you’ll have a satisfying and healthful meal ready to go for several days!

This recipe will get your mouth watering for all the fresh spring vegetables that you’ll find in the Farm Store on opening weekend. The beauty of this recipe is that you can use whatever greens you have on hand - spinach, arugula, kale, swiss chard, turnip and beet greens, or bok choi.

Every week, we sit down to plan the meals that Milo will eat at his new part-time school. We go simple - we plan the same breakfast, snack and lunch and we pack it all up on Sunday in individual containers so it's ready to go! This week Milo wanted a macaroni salad and we had fun adding whichever veggies were available.

The arrival of winter doesn't mean that salads are off the menu here at the Farm. Over the winter our salads become heartier, like this one that is filled with sweet roasted root vegetables and peppery arugula.
