10 Vegetarian Spring Recipes

10 fresh and easy vegetarian spring recipes that feature the best of the season, like asparagus, peas, radishes, fresh herbs and more.

Spring has finally arrived and that means it's time for asparagus, fresh herbs, peas, radishes, spinach and more!  While wintertime staples can certainly be cozy and comforting, spring is all about freshness and lightness.

Although these days we can get most vegetables year-round, they undeniably taste better in-season.  An abundance of fresh produce makes spring a great time to add more vegetables to your diet, so I’ve collected some of my favorite spring vegetarian recipes.  Filled with the season’s best produce, these healthy spring recipes are perfect for everyday meals as well as parties and picnics. While by no means an exhaustive list of what the season has to offer I hope that these can serve as inspiration for your next meal.
