Léa NadeauIf you’ve been following us on Instagram, you probably know that I deeply enjoy slow living. I adore living in the moment and enjoying life’s little wonder, as simple as they can be.
My perspective on life changed the moment I became a mom. More than ever before, it’s important for me to enjoy life’s simple things by spending precious time with my loved ones. As part of my lifestyle, I made sure to highlight those moments. One thing I love doing the most is spending a slow moment with my partner in our backyard. I usually cook a delightful salad, just like this salad recipe, that I serve with a warm and fresh baguette and some of Quebec’s best cheeses. Paired with a succulent glass of white wine, such as this Chardonnay by Chateau St. Jean, it makes for a perfect night. Chateau St. Jean’s Chardonnay is available at the SAQ.
For a perfect moment with your loved ones, like this one, here is my recipe of spinach, corn, beans and fresh cilantro summer salad!
I guarantee you will have an unforgettable moment filled with Sparks and Bloom instants when paired with a glass of white wine from Chateau St. Jean!! ?
