Salute Spring! Series Recipe Round-Up
Last night I tossed thick spears of asparagus in olive oil and grilled them on the barbecue until slightly blackened and tender. I could happily eat this spring side dish every evening for the next few months – at least until the local sweet corn arrives.
All this week we’ve been featuring the season’s best produce in our Salute Spring! series. Five girls brought you five ingredients and five snappy recipes. Here’s a quick recap, followed by a round up of plenty more recipes featuring the same lineup of spring produce.
- Monday – Rhubarb Compote from Aimee
- Tuesday – ‘Pea-camole’ Dip from Megan of Stetted
- Wednesday – Mediterranean Quinoa-Stuffed Artichokes with Shaina of Food for My Family.

How’s that for inspiration?! Have a great weekend, everyone.
Wow!! I don’t even know where to start! Thanks for an AMAZING line-up of recipes…I have to run out and buy some asparagus now (I think I will start at the top of the alphabet and work my way through!) 🙂
Great! I know, I’m inspired too, there are so many recipes here I want to try.
What a wonderful roundup! Thank you. This is our first year participating in a CSA – starting in a couple of weeks – so I’m anticipating lots of seasonal local produce. Thanks for all the inspiration.
Ohh, CSA. Fun!
Now, I can find several recipes for all those spring goodies. Thanks, Aimee.
This is an awesome collection! Trying to cook more vegetables and what a great way to do so my using what is in season!
Thanks! Bernice
You know what? Really hard to choose now. But I’ll go on the more healthy things. I want to cook them, in a minimal way as I like, but there is a lot of knowledge. Thanks.
