Shrimp and bacon are savoury partners in this lightened-up creamy appetizer. To keep your washed herbs fresh, wrap them in paper towels and store them in a resealable bag for up to one week.
Using cooked and crumbled bacon, available in jars and packages, cuts at least 10 minutes of cooking time. Bagged lettuces and greens require no washing, and salmon is quick to cook.

Do you know what takes a salad from just OK to outstanding? Cheese and bacon. This indulgent salad is sweet and salty, with the perfect amount of tanginess. If you would like to make the dressing ahead of time, warm it up before pouring it over the greens to make sure they wilt.
This inspiration for this dish was to take duck, an ingredient found in traditional french cuisine, and to find a way to prepare and interpret it using other common Canadian ingredients, in a manner that is simpler, less time consuming and just as flavourful. After layering the duck with apples, shallots and spices, it is wrapped in bacon, in some way similar to how a filet mignon. In the attached picture, it is served with marinated, roasted potatoes and asparagus. A simple accompaniment, so that the intensity of dish can be enjoyed.
For those guests who prefer savoury to sweet, these hearty snacks are an ideal -- and quick! -- solution.
A classic Canadian staple becomes an instant hit in bite-size form. Mini-buns are available in many grocery stores or on special order from some bakeries. Or cut a loaf of focaccia in half through its depth to make two layers, then cut into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) squares.? Garnish these delightful little sandwiches with pickled onions and gherkins.
