A Taste of Spring
A Taste of Spring
You’ve no doubt heard the saying, “April showers bring May flowers.” We’re not just talking about gardens here—you can enjoy the month’s beautiful blooms in the kitchen, too. Not only do gorgeous flowers and fragrant herbs add pop to your plate, but they incorporate feel-good vibes. Here’s a way to let your dishes blossom.
Caprese Tulips
This floral arrangement is almost too cute to eat! You can serve these tulips as an adorable app to impress your guests…or bring them to a party for a smile-inducing host gift. It doesn’t take long to prep, plus it looks striking and tastes delish. You can even recruit your kids to help!
Savory Garden Pancakes
These fabulous flapjacks are like a walk through a garden in full bloom. Each pancake incorporates seasonal herbs and is then topped with a creamy yogurt sauce (also infused with herbs!) that takes them to another level. It makes a perfect brunch recipe, but really, these gems are filling enough to serve for dinner, too.
Sparkling Cherry Blossom Lemonade
This bevvy is like sipping spring, which is the time of year when cherry blossom trees flaunt their beauty. LaCroix’s Cherry Blossom’s unique flavor is so light and refreshing—it works perfectly in this lemonade recipe, which delivers a wonderful combo of sweet and tart. I’m betting this drink would sell out at a roadside lemonade stand!
Green Goddess Dressing
This salad dressing stars two green queens, aromatic basil and creamy avocado. Whipped up with extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar and yummy seasonings, it makes any salad more delish. It’s a scrumptious way to dress in your spring best.
Rosemary Walnuts
Stop and smell the roses…with these rose-mary infused walnuts. The herb grows actively in the spring and even has “rose” in its name to give you all the garden goodness feels. The walnuts get a satisfying, buttery taste when toasted—they are soooo good and perfect for afternoon snacking or for topping yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, and more!
