The Vernal Equinox is Monday, and will be the official beginning of spring. You will agree it's not a moment too soon. Spring means the beginning of gardening season and fresh local produce! But there are certain fruits and vegetables that are nearing their peak already: asparagus, broccoli, spinach, rhubarb, sugar snap peas, artichokes, strawberries, and more.
The equinox is not normally a holiday you would celebrate by singing songs or putting up decorations (although Easter decorations will do just fine), but since you are making dinner anyway, you can pay homage to the semiannual event by trying a new recipe or two that highlight those early fruits and vegetables you see at the local farmer's market. They'll taste super fresh and might even inspire you to plant a garden of your own this year! Find a collection of 25 recipes for early spring produce at Romper. You're sure to find something to tickle your palate.
