Spring is the perfect time to freshen up your dinner table and add some lighter meals to the mix. Take a look at these delicious Dinner Recipes for Spring including a few favourites like the Sheet Pan Lemon Herb Chicken and the Pasta Primavera with Asparagus and Peas.
Tips for Cooking Spring Dinners
- Use seasonal vegetables – Try to use seasonal vegetables when you can. You can find vegetables like asparagus, peas, radishes, cabbage, spinach, carrots, scallions, kale and arugula.
- Keep things light – Spring is a time to move away from more comforting dinners like the Creamy Chicken & Leek Pie. Use the stove top more often, include salads and lighter sauces for an overall fresher dinner.
- Try new things – With the new growing season upon us, it’s nice to try some new vegetables that you may have not used in your cooking before. Keep your eyes out for fresh and seasonal vegetables at your local supermarket.
