10 Recipes For Spring We Can’t Live Without!
Spring is a wonderful time to celebrate fresh, seasonal produce, as we say goodbye to heavier winter dishes and welcome lighter, more vibrant flavors! These 10 recipes for spring include our Well Seasoned House salad, pretty much the appetizer we serve most often on any night of the week, as well as a variety of entrées, our favorite lemon blueberry dessert, and a refreshing gin cocktail – yum!
If you happen to stumble upon ramps at the store or farmer’s market, grab a bundle immediately! They have a short season and can be pricy, but they’re so worth the flavor! You’ll love them in our ramp pesto or to make pickled ramps, which are good on everything from eggs and frittatas to tacos and grilled steak! They’re similar to quick pickled red onions, but with a deeper oniony flavor.
While this is by no means an exhaustive list of the spring recipes on Well Seasoned, we hope it inspires you to celebrate the change in seasons.
Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake

Spatchcock Chicken
Spatchcock chicken is the easiest way to cook a whole bird in the least amount of time. Dry brine the bird the evening before and leave uncovered in a refrigerator to help make the skin EXTRA crispy! A delicious chicken dinner that requires very little effort.

Salmon Escabeche
If there’s one make-ahead healthy fish recipe that gets your attention this year, let it be salmon escabeche. This Spanish preparation of salmon gets seared on a stove top, then marinated in olive oil and red wine vinegar. It’s topped with shallots, a serrano pepper, olives, and sun dried tomatoes, making it a little sweet, a little sour, and a touch spicy!

Ramp Pesto
If you can get your hands on fresh wild ramps, homemade ramp pesto is an absolute must! It’s got a vibrant garlic and spring onion flavor that pairs well with Pecorino Romano cheese and nutty walnuts. Add basil and lemon for freshness (and to cut back on the garlic flavor). Mix into pasta or serve with your favorite grilled proteins and roasted vegetables. Freezer-friendly!

This is hands down our favorite spring recipe! The light-as-air, tender ricotta gnudi (think of them as ricotta dumplings) take a little time to make but are well worth the effort. Pair with a browned butter sauce and your favorite spring vegetables for a meatless dinner the whole family will love!
