While I absolutely adore everything about spring, from the tiny sprouts to the asparagus and strawberries, the truth is most of us are not actually getting this produce this early in the season. Certainly, I am excited to see strawberries, but they are pretty hit and miss if they are actually good or not. This time of year, most of us are seeing the cool season produce that is slowly waning away rather than the first of spring delights. So, let us celebrate the end of the blustery season with a few dishes that I did not feature nearly enough in the coolest months as we tip toe gently into the warming days.
Most appropriate for this celebration is the End of Winter Salad with a Blood Orange Vinaigrette. Continuing with the orange theme try the Blood Orange Fish with Brown Butter Broccolini. Grapefruit shines in a Grapefruit Avocado Salsa tucked into Tempeh Tacos or Breakfast Tacos.
I have been a bit obsessed lately with dried apricots. I found some exceptionally delicious ones that my 2-year old and I honestly can’t get enough of. But, if you have just so-so tasty dried apricots this Apricot Roasted Chicken is the most beautiful way to use them. Well, that is until you make it into the delightful lunch of Apricot Roasted Chicken Salad.
A few of you (like my husband) may cringe at the thought of savory oatmeal, but I adore it. I prefer to start my day without sweetness. Even better is making a large batch of Black Pepper Parmesan Granola to be sprinkled on top of the Black Pepper & Parmesan Oatmeal.
Whether your weather is allowing you to nibble on bites of spring, celebrate winter’s departure with a few of these dishes.
Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,
