Three Sister Salad

Three Sisters Salad is a crowd-pleaser the distinct flavours and textures of the ingredients make it work. We will use a honey lemon vinaigrette that brings the dish together. The three sisters—corn, beans and squash—are common among many Indigenous cultures. Planted together, the beans use the corn stalks to climb and grow while the squash provides ground cover to retain moisture. 

These three foods not only work together as they grow, but also when being consumed. Squashes contain a multitude of vitamins, iron, fibre and antioxidants, while beans contain protein, fats and immune-boosting nutrients. Corn provides potassium, healthy sugars, carbs and other elements.
