Spring is in the air! The days are getting longer, the sun brighter and the air warmer. And, I couldn’t be happier. As much as I like cozy and comforting winter dinners, soups, and casseroles, celebrating the arrival of a new season is so exciting!
Especially one that brings warm weather, beautiful flowers, and an abundance of fresh new produce to enjoy. And, when it comes to spring dinners, I always find myself reaching for lighter and healthier dishes like spring salads.

So, I thought I would share some simple and healthy spring salad recipes that are loaded with fresh seasonal fruits & vegetables like asparagus, peas, carrots, strawberries, lemons, and mangos. Enjoy!
