10 Dishes to Get You Excited For Spring

YumSugar

Valentine's Day

and the Super Bowl seemed like yesterday, but in reality, St. Patrick's Day and March Madness are just around the corner. With the third month of the year, we're officially kicking off our Spring coverage. To ring it in, I've compiled 10 dishes that are getting us pumped for the new season.

  • Spring Lamb and Vegetable Stew - This flavorful stew, which makes the most of young, tender lamb, comes together in under 30 minutes.

  • Fava Bean and Pecorino Salad You may not be able to locate fava beans until later in the season, but when you do, you'll relish them for the delicate flavor they impart to a pecorino salad dressed with olive oil.

  • Rhubarb Tart - Even though rhubarb is technically a vegetable, it's best enjoyed in fruit-forward desserts, like this pastry, which highlight its acidity.

  • Spring Farro Salad - Tender baby asparagus and crisp sugar snap peas, served here in a farro and feta salad, are a reminder of how pleasurable Spring produce can be.

  • Sweet Pea Soup - Sweet pea soup requires little prep and adds a festive pop of color to any March meal.

  • Pasta With Peas, Cream, Parsley, and Mint - Put a seasonal perspective on a comfort dish like macaroni and cheese and stir in peas, parsley, and mint into a sumptuous cheese sauce.

  • Avocado With Strawberry Salsa - Want to serve a healthy, timely snack at your March Madness party? Opt for a salsa made of seasonal strawberries that's served in a fresh avocado.

  • Asparagus and Shrimp Pasta - A versatile pasta of shrimp, asparagus, basil, and linguine is perfect for any occasion, from a dinner party to a romantic meal.

  • Asparagus, Scallion, and Cucumber Salad - Highlight the subtle grassiness of asparagus at its peak in a Spring salad with lemon-Dijon vinaigrette that's not too overpowering.

  • Quinoa Salad With Avocado - A colorful toss of apricots, in-season avocados, cranberries, and red quinoa make for a quick, nutrient-rich lunch.
