his Kale and Grapefruit Bounty Salad is inspired by the abundant seasonal produce and herbs available at our local markets at the height of summer! This colourful, local, ultra-fresh salad can be on your table in 15 minutes and is brimming with incredible, heart-healthy, antioxidant-rich superfoods and nutrients. A bed of baby spinach, crisp kale, cherry tomatoes, radishes, grapefruit, oranges, fresh mint, parsley, basil—dressed with local Little Creek dressing. Enjoy this feel good salad as a light, plant-based entrée or side dish whenever you’re in the mood for something quick and nutritious—or as a beautiful accompaniment to grilled fish, it’s amazing with salmon or tofu. Once the weather is finally warm, summer salads are where it’s at! Salads are a beautiful way to highlight the fresh produce of the season, and they’re perfect side dishes for barbecues or outdoor dinner parties that fill the summer evenings. This salad tastes even better on a warm night with a glass of rosé—we have so many amazing wineries here in the Okanagan to chose from! A few of my favourites are Kitsch, Quails’ Gate, Little Straw, and Sandhill. Cheers!

I’ve made this salad several times, using what I have on hand. Sometimes I don’t find grapefruits and will just use oranges instead. This time I used grapefruits as well as oranges and it was delicious. I always try to purchase my produce from local markets like Nature’s Fare, or farmers markets. Supporting local is so important for so many reasons, but one of the biggest is that you’ll be able to put money back into your community. It gives your local economy a chance to thrive.
