Healthy Canada Day Recipes
Updated: Jul. 16, 2019
There’s nothing that says summer quite like a Canada Day celebration spent in the backyard enjoying delicious food while catching up with friends and family. These recipes all feature veggies or fruit that are at their peak of taste during the summer months
Grilled Halibut & Chard with Gremolata Topping
Halibut is a good source of heart-healthy omega-3s, as is salmon, which also works well in this recipe. The homemade pickled onions are easy, and great on sandwiches and burÂgers; they’ll last a few weeks in the fridge. As for gremolata, it’s an Italian condiment served with veal or fish; it gives a burst of flavour, bringing the mild taste of halibut to life.

Pasta, Veggie & Blue Cheese Salad
This salad can easily be made with gluten-free pasta as well. If fresh peas are available, buy two (or more!) bags and freeze the extra for future use. They’re delicious in season and can be added to many recipes. Blue cheese varies in taste intensity by brand; a simple way to tell if it’s really strong is to sniff the package.
