During the month of May we served up tons of easy lunch and dinner ideas, our favourite salad and no-cook recipes, party-ready and easy take-to-the-cottage dishes, burgers galore, barbecue sides and the prettiest desserts. Here are the recipes our readers loved the most.
May's top 5 recipes
Fast fix Caprese pizza toast
The recipe for this open-faced Italian sandwich is nearly six years old but one of our readers recently rediscovered it and added it to Pinterest. Easy and cheesy (hello, bocconcini), we've all fallen in love (again) with this twist on a Caprese salad.
Baby-red-potato salad
A perennial BBQ or cottage fave, the red potatoes in this salad not only add a vibrant pop of colour but they hold their shape better than other varieties.
Sticky honey-ginger chicken
Chicken may be a weeknight staple but we injected a big dose of citrus, plus some honey and ginger to give it lots of flavour. Serve it with our minted zucchini salad.
Avocado tuna wrap
Take it for lunch or share this at a picnic, either way this recipe makes two wraps that are jam-packed with goodness.
Cake toast with honeyed strawberries
No time to bake? No problem with this 10-minute dessert.
