It’s Easy Being Green
Spring is the time to welcome warmer weather, spring flowers, and tender, seasonal vegetables that are coming into season. These three recipes each celebrate the flavors of Spring.
Italian Spinach, White Beans, and Orzo
Simple and satisfying, this dish features orzo pasta tossed with fresh spinach, white beans, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and more. Top it with a little fresh basil and mangia!
Jalapeño Pea Mash
Get ready to think about peas in a whole new way! Seasoned green peas, fresh jalapeños, and parsley get blended into a smooth and spicy spread that’s perfect for topping toasted whole wheat bread. Or use it as a dip for crunchy vegetables.
Asparagus Mushroom Risotto
Classic Arborio rice gets simmered with asparagus, mushrooms, peas, and low sodium vegetable broth for a hearty but bright-as-spring vegetarian meal.
