Fresh From Florida saves the day giving us the earlier taste of summer when our Ontario produce are not quite ready. Fresh From Florida programs help to connect Florida farmers with consumers both in Canada, US and across the world. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) helps their 47,000 agricultural producers to promote their produce around the world, as individually these farmers do not have the resources to take their goods to market.
Having the pleasure to work with LiveWell Marketing representing Fresh From Florida, this weekend, I was at Sobeys Queensway in Etobicoke to highlight their sweet corn, green peppers, watermelon, zucchini (called summer squash in US) and grape tomatoes in simple recipe ideas to the delight of interested customers. Get Inspired....
Tossed with watermelon, grape tomatoes and simply dressed with lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper with a touch of fresh basil or mint, you've got an impressive picnic-worthy delicious salad! The sweetness of watermelon nicely balances the tart of the lime juice.
Try a chunky sauce-less salsa with ingredients you can see. Sweet corn salsa with corn so sweet, no need to cook first, just take them straight off the cob. Or grill first for an extra caramelize char-grilled flavour! Toss in some chopped jalapeno for a spicy kick!
Did you know all bell peppers start out green and if left to ripen they turn yellow or orange, and then eventually red? AND a green pepper has twice as much vitamin C as an orange. You learn something new every single day...
Love those zucchini noodle spirals from a hand gadget called the spiralizer! This one's from OXO.
