Foodie Friday: 15 Spring Greens Recipes

{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

Spring is really almost here. It's time to add some seasonal green veggies to our menus.  No worries, if you aren't exactly a fan of vegetables, some of these recipes have been mixed with pancetta, brie cheese, bacon, pizza and more. Which recipe will you try this weekend?


Creamy Asparagus with Tarragon 
This recipe had me at its' presentation. I eat with my eyes. Don't you?  That pop of color is from Trader Joe's Microgreen mix. It's a 
thoughtful touch. 
Feasting At Home

Spring Green Goddess Pizza
This is just how I like my pizza - with salad on it! Besides all of the interesting greenery on the pie, there actually is green goddess dressing. 

Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken and Avocado Cobb
Wow! My kind of salad. It's healthy, colorful, and easy to put together. It's dressed with a Tahini Ranch dressing. 
Half Baked Harvest

Garlic Roasted Asparagus With Bacon And Cheese
Two words: Simple & Perfection!

Dill-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Farro, Pea, and Blistered Tomato Salad
That's a mouthful, but a yummy one! With  a"four forks" rating. This is one easy recipe to try.
Arugula Salad with Pancetta
 and Mint
Pancetta, like bacon, makes everything better. This recipe is peppery, minty, salty, and pungent. What 
a flavor packed dish!

Tabouli Salad
I happen to love this salad, but have never made it. It's a mix of finely chopped herbs, tomatoes, bulger, and green onions. All of that is then tossed with lemon and olive oil. Fun to eat with pita.

Brie Stuffed Artichokes
 Artichokes are one of my very favorite veggies, but I don't have them nearly enough. This recipe will be made soon.
Half Baked Harvest

Crunchy Slaw With Peanut Lime Dressing
Visually stunning, this salad is inspired by the flavors of "Gado Gado." I had to look that one up. It's an Indonesian salad, and one of the five national salads of the country. But any salad with nuts in it is good in my book!

Creamy Basil Mint Pesto Pasta
Vegan & Gluten Free
Herbaceous and creamy, this pasta just 
sings Spring!

Meyer Lemon Risotto With
Spicy Swiss Chard
Oh what a recipe! Think deglazing a pan with Sauvignon Blanc, lots of butter, Meyer Lemon juice, and more. 
Hello Spring!

Chipotle Marinated Kale & Smoky Mushroom Tacos
Though these look a bit sinful, they are super healthy for you. Google the amazing benefits of mushrooms. Plus the recipe only includes healthy fats, nothing "saturated" with anything.

Best Ever Green Beans
Green beans are something we never cook at home. "Mr. Shop This" is not a fan.  But this fresh looking dish could change anyone's mind.  It's really green bean amandine, which begins with haricots verts. The slender beans make for a pretty plate.

Turkey Burger Salad
This is a deluxe burger in a bowl. And I'm here for that, as I haven't had a hamburger bun in at least 25 years. A creamy sun dried tomato dressing tops it all off. Make the salad even healthier by 
using ground turkey breast.

Bishop's Weed Quiche
Bishop what? I have never heard of this veggie. Well, this recipe calls for 8 cups of it. No worries, the recipe author simply states that baby spinach can be used. Problem solved.
