Welcome-spring dinner party menu
Spring has arrived (finally!) and we're in the mood to celebrate with a delicious spring dinner party menu. While it might too chilly to grill our Dijon-crusted flank steaks outside, sliding them under the broiler will do until we're ready to dig out the barbecue for all of our favourite grilling recipes. With a sparkling Campari lemonade, a gorgeous sunset-colored cocktail garnished with a bright slice of citrus, welcome spring and say goodbye to old man winter for another year.
Soup
Topped with round pancetta and feta cheese, this soup is a bright, early-spring appetizer that everyone will rave about.
