Spring

Don’t you just love fresh spring flavors and produce?  Spring recipes are all about celebrating the vibrant flavors of the season.  As the weather begins to warm up, it’s nice to enjoy lighter, more colorful, and more refreshing dishes, that highlight the abundance of seasonal produce.

Like salads with crisp veggies and dishes with spinach, peas, and asparagus, here are a few spring recipe favorites include:  Asparagus Egg and Bacon Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette, Asparagus Salad with Eggs and Prosciutto,  Warm Cauliflower Spinach Salad with Pancetta, and Arugula Salad with Olive Oil, Lemon, and Parmesan.

So this is the time of year when Citrus fruits reach their peak during spring.  And when their zesty flavors are paired with fragrant herbs, it adds a bright and refreshing touch to meals.  Think lemon-infused pasta with fresh herbs, grilled shrimp with lime and cilantro, or tangy lemon-rosemary marinated chicken - so many delcious spring recipes!

And some fan favorites are… Cilantro Lime Grilled Shrimp with Pineapple Salsa, Grilled Rosemary Lemon Chicken Kabobs, Grilled Chicken Caprese with Balsamic Sauce, and Baked Lemon Pepper Salmon.

Spring is ideal for outdoor picnics and gatherings as the weather becomes more pleasant.  Think fruit-filled berry tarts and fruity cocktails embracing the bounty of this invigorating season.

And there are so many favorites to share… Strawberry Mascarpone Tart, Blueberry Lemon No-Bake Cheesecake Jars, Cast-Iron Lemon Blueberry Cobbler, Strawberry Peach Sangria, and the Honey Mango Strawberry Margarita.

From salads to main dishes, desserts, and cocktails, enjoy these delicious dishes that celebrate the arrival of spring!
