As peak summer approaches, more and more fresh fruits and vegetables are at our fingertips. Wild blueberries are one of summer's most prized edible possessions and you can find them for the next month or so at farmers' markets across the country (more or less).
From a delicious salad recipe from one of our favourite Canadian cookbook authors, Mairlyn Smith, to a fun spin on a Caesar cocktail, pancakes and more, here are eight delicious blueberry recipes to make this summer.
(And if you can't find fresh Canadian wild blueberries, you can always find them year-round in the frozen foods section of the grocery store.)
