"Butter tarts are our all-time favourites, but we don't always have time to make the pastry, roll, cut and � ll individual tarts. Butter tarts in bar form are the perfect solution - they are quick to mix up and bake. And here's a secret: when you're making squares that have a sticky � lling, like butter tart squares or lemon bars, if you freeze the whole thing in the pan before you slice them, they'll cut much more cleanly. Let them sit on the countertop for 20 minutes to thaw - or if you're bringing them with you, they'll thaw en route." Directions 1. For the vinaigrette: In food processor or blender, process strawberries, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper until smooth. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate. 2. For the salad: Arrange lettuce on din- ner plates. Top each with chicken, halved strawberries and cucumber. Drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.

Drizzle with Chicken Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette It's tempting to simply open a bottle of prepared salad dressing and pour over fresh greens but it's possible to make a simple and equally fresh dressing using just a few ingredients. Fresh strawberries, a Canadian summer favourite, add bright- ness to this dressing. • 1 cup butter, at room temperature To make the crust, stir together the dry ingredients, then cut in the butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.
