3 Sisters Wild Rice Salad

The “three sisters” this dish refers to are corn, squash, and beans. In a technique originated from Northeastern Native American tribes, the three crops are planted together so the corn stalk provides support for the climbing bean plant, while the squash spreads horizontally to cover and protect the soil. The “sisters” also complement each other nutritionally, offering complex carbohydrates, fibre, protein, and a host of phytonutrients in every bite.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts

The days of bland, boiled Brussels sprouts are over, especially when it’s this easy to crisp them to restaurant-quality heights. Serve with garlic aioli or sprinkle with smoked paprika, bacon bits, or dried cranberries.
