Spruce/Fir Salad Dressing
A quintessential Pacific Northwest spring ingredient, conifer tips like spruce, fir and pine needles sprout, bright green and full of fresh lemony/rosemary like aromas. Great when used as a flavouring in sauces, marinades and cocktails. Here's one of my favourite dishes, a simple conifer tip vinaigrette drizzled over fresh ripe tomatoes as a side dish. To learn how to safely identify our different conifer
species growing in BC, take one of our online courses or book a private spring foraging trip with us this year.
