When it’s this hot outside, a crisp green salad with protein is an incredibly appealing dinner option. We love summer salads because they’re easy to prepare, surprisingly hearty, delicious and packed with vitamins and nutrients. You can use freshly grilled steak, chicken or pork but leftovers work just as well—just cook a bit extra one evening and you’ll have a quick meal the next.

Summer is made for good times: backyard barbeques, long afternoons beside the pool, hiking at the local conservation area, weekend trips to the lake, camping and of course, the classic Canadian road trip. No matter how you’re spending July and August, you’ll be busy—and hungry, we bet. So, let’s get prepared!

Some like it mild, but some like it hot—and at Olliffe, we’ve got something for everyone. With Canada Day coming up on Tuesday, July 1st, the Olliffe team would like to share some product recommendations that will add a little spice to your life (and your holiday BBQ).
