Fresh pea shoots paired with crunchy radishes and feta on toasted sourdough, plus a sprinkle of red chile flakes makes the perfect Spring bite!

Toasts are so versatile; you can mix and match different toppings based on the season and they’re also great to serve guests when entertaining!

I absolutely love this Springtime combination of flavours; you can find radishes and pea shoots readily available at the grocery store or market.

    Looks like a great little snack or lunch! I love using fresh seasonal produce, especially if I can grow it myself. Luckily pea shoots and radishes are two of the easiest spring vegetables to grow! You could even use radish sprouts instead of pea shoots!

      I never even thought of using radish sprouts but I LOVE that idea too! So easy to mix & match this recipe with fresh, seasonal produce from the market or your garden. AND you’ve inspired me to try to grow pea shoots and radishes I think this year!

This is one of my favourite ways to make salads in This is one of my favourite ways to make salads in the winter - ROAST some fav veggies together and then add them to salad greens, topped with feta, walnuts and a balsamic dressing. 

The best part is you can mix and match what you like so carrots would be delish, chopped almonds or goat cheese are great substitutes. 

Here’s generally how I make it:

1 large sweet potato, cubed
4 golden beets, peeled and cubed
12 Brussels sprouts, quartered 
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Salad greens
Chopped walnuts
Feta 

Dressing: Mix together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1x garlic clove minced, salt and pepper 

Toss the vegetables with a couple tablespoons olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast at 415 F for 30-35 minutes or until done to your liking. Add veggies to your favourite salad greens and top with nuts, cheese and dressing.

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp salt
Ground pepper

4 cups chopped & peeled yellow potatoes
6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese plus more for garnish
Toppings: Minced chives & Sour cream or plain ruffle chips

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a large pot, add oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. 
2. To the pot add minced garlic, dried thyme, coarse salt, a couple turns of ground pepper and a pinch of chili flakes. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes.
