A fond memory from my childhood was being inspired by the smiling faces of Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod. I’d see them on TV reminding me to “keep fit and have fun!” Little did I know, the lessons they taught in their 90-second television series called “Body Break” would be life lessons. I’ve held onto those lessons throughout all my years.

Body Break, which debuted in 1988, was initially broadcast throughout Canada. Eventually, it aired in many other countries! To honor its 30-year legacy and the hard work put forth by Hal and Joanne to motivate Canadians, this episode is my tribute.

After chatting with Hal, I was inspired by his daily lunch regime. I created this salad recipe in his honor. In our house, this salad will always be known as “Hal’s Salad.” Thanks Hal!
