    Simple Spring Recipes

    Spring is when dinner gets easier. Lighter proteins, brighter flavors, and a lot less time standing over a hot stove. These are the recipes I reach for when the farmers market starts looking interesting again - fresh salads like this Pear, Arugua and Goat Cheese Salad, or my  Chopped Mediterranean Cucumber Salad, light spring pasta dishes like my Pasta With Chickpeas or my Quick Shrimp Pesto Pasta, and seafood that doesn't feel heavy, like my Foil Baked Salmon and Air Fryer Tilapia. All easy, all weeknight-friendly.
