Your New Fave Spring Salad + a Dress to Pair With It

A Fresh Spring Salad, a New Favourite Dress, and That First Warm Breeze

You know that first really nice spring day? The one where the sun finally feels warm on your skin, and you just have to open the windows, pour yourself something sparkly, and throw together something light and fresh to eat? That’s exactly the kind of day this salad was made for — and honestly, the kind of day that inspired our whole Spring Dresses Across Canada collection, too!

Lately, we’ve been flipping through Mandy’s Cookbook (yes, the one we carry in-store and online!) and this spring salad recipe practically jumped off the page. It’s fresh, bright, and ridiculously easy — perfect for lunch on the patio or a quick dinner that feels a little fancy without the fuss.

Our Go-To Spring Salad from Mandy’s Cookbook - The Fave!

(We’re telling you, you need to try this one!)

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 cup arugula
• 1/2 avocado, diced
• 1/4 cup small broccoli florets (raw)
• 1/4 cup canned corn kernels, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup shredded carrot
• 1/2 cup Parmesan flakes
• 1/2 cup Homemade Pita Chips (page 150) (or substitute)
• 2 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
• 1/3 cup Honey Mustard Dressing (page 170) (or substitute)

DIRECTIONS

Combine all of the ingredients in a large stainless-steel bowl.  Top with the dressing, and using tongs, toss until well mixed and dressed.

If you want more recipes like this, Mandy’s Cookbook in our Cookbook Collection is full of them — and yes, we have copies waiting for you at Lemonberry (or online if you’re shopping from afar!).

We actually put together a blog all about it:
