Do you love to entertain family and friends? Are you too busy enjoying the summer fun & sun to even think about meal planning? No need to stress, you just need to look to President’s Choice® to inspire your summer meals & snacks!

After a long winter, summer is finally in full swing and the President’s Choice® brand has NEW and MUST TRY products to keep you inspired all season long.  They are going beyond the burger with tasty offerings that are sure to become your new summer favourites.

Check out just some of the NEW and MUST TRY products that are now available.

PC® SMOKY BACON MAYO SANDWICH SPREAD –

#PCSummerI have used this a few times and it is delicious, in fact I just bought my second bottle! We had it on our Fog Buster Scallop Bacon Burgers (you’ll want to check out this recipe, it is beyond amazing), toasted BLT sandwiches, loaded grilled cheese and chicken burgers…YUM!

Made with real bacon, this luscious mayo imparts an unmistakable smoky bacon flavour to your sandwiches, burgers and coleslaws. Heaven, right? If you can’t get enough – and that’s the prediction – serve it as a dip, or use it in your egg salad recipe. When you need a bacon fix, this makes it easy. In a squeezable container and made with NO artificial flavours or artificial colours.

PC® PEAR & WALNUT VINAIGRETTE – 

#PCSummerEating your daily requirement of vegetables and greens can sometimes feel like a mealtime chore. Trust me, drizzling this delicious vinaigrette over your salad, makes getting your greens an experience to savor.

Does it make a difference that pear is the first listed ingredient? Absolutely. That is the reason the delicate pear flavour shines through. The other thing that makes this dressing extraordinary is that it contains pieces of walnut, and I don’t know about you, but I have yet to find a bottled dressing that contains any nuts at all. Such a tantalizing balance of flavours and textures!

PC® BANANA CREAM PIE WITH DULCE DE LECHE –

#PCSummerNeed I say anything about this decadent dessert?  The name pretty well says it all! You had me at Banana Cream and the addition of Dulce de Leche puts this dessert over the top.

This PC® version of a traditional banana cream pie boasts a silky smooth layer of dulche de leche beneath a luscious layer of banana cream filling topped with whipped cream and nestled in a graham crumb crust.  One bite tells you it’s made with real bananas.  Crazy rich, yes, but so unforgettable it’s the perfect choice for entertaining.

Some other NEW and MUST TRY products to keep an eye out for include:

  • PC® Key Lime Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Lollipops
  • PC® Kumato Gourmet Tomatoes
  • PC® Memories of Alabama Creamy Barbecue Sauce
  • PC® Not So Secret Burger Sauce

…and give this recipe for Mexican Tortilla Salad with Lime and Jalapeno a try, it’s easy and delicious!  Crispy tortilla strips are a nice twist on the usual crouton. They stay crisp a surprisingly long time even once tossed in with the salad, making this a great BBQ potluck contribution.
