Fresh Fall Salad with Local Dressing

A quick, nourishing salad that celebrates the best of the season — crisp farm-fresh greens paired with our new locally crafted dressings. Perfect for a light lunch, a colourful side, or a healthy addition to your kid’s lunchbox.

🌱 From the Field

With freshly harvested lettuce, tender spring mix, and peppery arugula, this salad is a celebration of everything we love about fall produce — colour, crunch, and nutrition. Tossed with our small-batch, locally made dressing, it turns everyday greens into something special.

🧺 Ingredients (serves 2-3)

🥄 Instructions

  1. Wash & prep: Rinse and dry your greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.

  2. Add your veggies: Top with tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, and red onion.

  3. Dress & toss: Drizzle with your favorite local dressing and gently toss until everything is lightly coated.

  4. Finish & serve: Sprinkle with cheese if using and serve immediately as a light lunch or a side dish.

🌾 Farmer’s Tip:

For extra flavour and texture, add seasonal toppings — roasted squash cubes, sliced apples, toasted seeds, or leftover roasted chicken all make great additions.

🍽️ Serving Ideas:

  • Pack it in a jar for a quick, healthy work lunch.

  • Serve alongside soup or quiche for a cozy fall meal.

  • Let kids build their own salad bowls for a fun, hands-on lunchbox idea.
