Since it's Local Food Week here in Ontario, we figured it was the perfect time to share a tasty recipe made with fresh, locally grown Ontario ingredients.
🍓🌱 Strawberry Asparagus Salad
🔸Ingredients:
1 bunch of fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced
4 cups of baby spinach or mixed greens
½ cup of feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup of pine nuts (lightly toasted)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
🔸Honey Balsamic Dressing
3 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp of honey
1 tsp of Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper to taste
🔸Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the asparagus for 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Transfer immediately to ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine spinach, asparagus, strawberries, feta, pine nuts, and green onions.
Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
🔸Farm-Fresh Tips
🌱 Use freshly picked Ontario asparagus when it's in season.
🍓 Local strawberries make this salad especially sweet and flavorful.

🧀 Goat cheese can be substituted for feta if you prefer a creamier texture.
This is a perfect spring and early summer salad—sweet, crunchy, savory, and packed with fresh local ingredients. 💚🍓🌱
