Hello to the season of SPRING! Springtime just screams freshness to me - bright, crisp flavors, lots of GREEN, new beginnings, more sun. What better time to clean up a diet and add fresh flavors when you also clean up your house!
So, what’s in season for spring? Saveur has an awesome guide where you can search for recipes by spring ingredient.
- Artichokes
- Arugula
- Asparagus
- Beets
- Bok Choy
- Carrots
- Fava beans <- very trendy
- Garlic
- Leeks
- Peas
- Potatoes
- Radishes
- Ramps <- also very “in”
- Rhubarb
- Scallions
- Greens and spinach
I reached out to my fellow bloggers for easy recipes to “spring clean” up our diet using some of those fabulous ingredients, and I have some to share with you.
Creamy Vegan Spring Vegetable Pasta - a pine-nut based sauce with peas and asparagus only tastes decadent
Beet Cauliflower Rice - a fresh take on cauliflower rice with beets and basil
Roasted Radish Chips - sturdier for dipping than kale chips!
Edamame Slaw - even if you dress and toss on Monday, it will hold up throughout the week for easy lunches
Honey Garlic Chicken - sweet, spicy, fresh, and easy
Spring Quinoa Bowl - LOTS of spring produce in this one!
No-Bake Carrot Protein Bars - I have these next on my to-do list to make
Vegan Cobb Salad - I’ll take asparagus over blue cheese any day!
Salmon Bowls with Miso Dressing - easy and hearty!
For more, Sarah has put together a beautiful list of 25 healthy vegetarian recipes for the season.
Hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by! 
Thanks for the shout out! I love that salad!
Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend.
