Elegant and easy spring menu

By Alison Kent, Special Projects Food Editor

Our easiest spring menu yet. Entertain friends and family with spring dishes that look beautiful and take no time to prepare.
Elegant and easy spring menu
Spring get-togethers are made easy with this simple-yet-impressive menu. It comes together quickly and components can be assembled beforehand, so everyone can spend more time together.

Cocktails

With-or-without-alcohol Cosmo Spritzers are fruity and refreshing. To prepare ahead, combine everything except the ginger ale and sparkling orange beverage (if using); refrigerate.

Starter
Watercress and Red Grapefruit Salad is a stunning springtime salad. Tip: Soak raw onion in ice water to mellow any harsh flavours.

Main course
Light and Lemony Baked Salmon with Spring Herbs
- featured above - contains a winning combination of herbs, including fresh dill and parsley. More fresh herbs make their way into our easy side dish, Steamed Fingerling Potatoes and Sugar Snap Peas with Mint - a fantastic complement to salmon.

Dessert

Dessert doesn’t get much easier than our Quick Strawberry Shortcake, which uses fresh berries and store-bought angel food cake.
