The Flavors of Spring

This quick and easy quiche tastes like the promise of spring. With warm weather flavors like tangy roasted red peppers, salty prosciutto, creamy Asiago, and oniony fresh chives, it makes a delicious centerpiece to any breakfast, brunch, or lunch. And, it is an excellent reminder that winter is coming to an end, and plenty of fresh, young green things are just around the corner.

Inspired by Lynn Rossetto Kasper of The Splendid Table fame, this recipe is a quick and easy starter for a sunny, summer dinner part. The sharp bite of the radishes is softened by the creamy goat cheese and oniony chives. A delectable bite.

Homemade granola? Of course! This parfait wouldn't taste the same without it. While the fresh basil and mint add richness to the berries, the fresh thyme gives the yogurt an extra dose of zip. Combine the ingredients in a wine or champagne glass and you are serving in style.

This salad uses fresh parsley, tarragon and asparagus to bring the taste of summer to your plate.

This fresh and healthy Middle Eastern salad has plenty of fiber from bulgur wheat and chopped veggies and plenty of flavor from fresh mint, parsley, green onions, and feta. An easy, no-cook side dish, tabbouleh is a delicious accompaniment to grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp.
