Celebrate Canada Day with These Quintessentially Canadian Dishes

With Canada Day happening this week, even if we can’t have the big potlucks and barbecues of years past, we’re still excited to cook up some Canadian-inspired dishes for ourselves and for our loved ones. Celebrate another year of being Canadian with a freshly-mixed Caesar, and one (or all) of these quintessentially Canadian recipes.

Grilled Potato Poutine

Honestly, we had to. Perhaps the most stereotypically Canadian indulgence of all time, this decadent heap of Creamer potatoes, cheese curds, and thick gravy is an absolute must for the first of July.

Caprese Skewers

Blushing Belle Little Potatoes with their richly-hued skin complement grape tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella balls for you to serve yourself up some caprese-flavoured Canadian colours on a skewer.

Summerside Lobster and Fingerling Potato Salad

Inspired by the sumptuous lobster of the Maritimes, this summery dish is a full meal deal that’s bursting with colour and drizzled with a buttery dressing.

Maple Glazed Sausage Sheet Pan Meal

Maple syrup is essential on Canada Day. Try using it to glaze some standard sausages and veggies to add some sweetness to a simple sheet pan meal.

Montreal-Style Salmon Tartare Smashed Little Potatoes

West coast salmon prepared into a Montreal-style tartare is an incredible smash up in this salty appetizer.

Whether you’re celebrating alone, with a few friends, or with your family, we hope these recipes will brighten up your table and bring a little Canadian-infused joy to your long weekend eats.
