Description
Even though there won’t be any large gatherings for Saint-Jean this year, we can still celebrate at home with recipes made with products from Quebec. And, to put the whole family in a festive mood, I like to choose recipes that highlight the colour blue. Here are the snacks and appetizers I plan to make for our home celebration of this year’s Fête National. Blue foods in honour of Quebec.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and, to keep with the Saint-Jean theme, serve with blue tortilla chips.

Boil potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes, or until fork tender. Strain and rinse under cold water.
