Along with longer days, spring brings a welcome abundance of crisp greens and delicate vegetables for cooking. It’s the perfect time to refresh your meal routine with lighter, brighter dishes that let those seasonal ingredients shine.
This collection of recipes celebrates spring produce at its peak. Sweet peas, prized for their bright colour and delicate sweetness, pair beautifully with herbs, pasta and grains. Spring onions are another seasonal favourite – milder and sweeter than mature onions, they can be eaten raw or lightly cooked in stir-fries, salads and noodle dishes. New potatoes also begin to appear at this time of year, and have a naturally sweet, buttery flavour that is showcased best with simple cooking.
These recipes highlight the versatile ways you can incorporate these ingredients into your cooking. The hazelnut-crusted salmon with crushed potatoes is a satisfying, omega-rich fish dish with a fragrant lemon and thyme crumb. The low-cal tandoori trout traybake brings warming spice to a lighter meal, which is balanced with cooling cucumber raita. The plant-based sesame & spring onion stir-fried udon with crispy tofu delivers bold flavours and satisfying texture, while our gochujang roast chicken with spring greens brings a punchy, savoury kick to the weeknight table.
The plan is designed to offer variety across the week while making the most of overlapping ingredients to keep shopping lists streamlined and food waste to a minimum. With colourful seasonal produce and a mix of protein options, it’s an easy way to eat well throughout the week.
