Shrimp Mango Salad + Pinot Grigio
For a taste of the tropics, there’s the Shrimp Mango Salad. Sautéed shrimp, fresh red onion, tomato, avocado, and mango mingle together with a zesty cilantro lime dressing, all atop a bed of Boston lettuce. It's a burst of flavour in every forkful! And what better way to elevate this dish than with a glass of Pinot Grigio? Its crisp and fresh profile perfectly complements seafood, making it the ideal pairing for this tasty shrimp salad.
Kale & Quinoa Salad + Sauvignon Blanc
Looking for a vegetarian delight packed with flavour? Enter the Kale & Quinoa Salad. Leafy kale, roasted butternut squash, slivered almonds, and juicy pomegranates come together in a light vinaigrette for a refreshing and nutritious meal. For meat eaters, you can add chicken for extra protein. And to elevate your dining experience, sip on a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Its crisp, citrus-flavoured notes and high-acidic finish perfectly complement the salad's vibrant flavours.
