The classic Caprese Italian salad is in an easy-to-tote muffin form – think picnic! Juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and bright basil join flavorful forces with the mild taste of canola oil, producing a tender treat.

Greek Style Pocket Sandwiches

Great using fresh pork, but also tasty when leftover cooked pork is marinated, drained, re-heated and served.

Oven Roasted Falafel

Falafel, crispy vegetarian patties made of chickpeas, garlic, onion and spices make an easy, inexpensive dinner or unique party food - serve small falafel balls with tzatziki for dipping. With its neutral flavor and high smoke point, canola oil is ideal for cooking falafel; traditionally they are cooked in a hot skillet, but these are brushed with canola oil and roasted at high heat, creating a crisp exterior.

Layered Potato, Dill and Shrimp Salad

Summertime entertaining is easy with this make-ahead, all-in-one dish that is perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Be sure to serve in shallow bowls or a rimmed dinner plate to contain the flavorful juices. Canola oil provides healthy monounsaturated and plant-based omega-3 fats.
