    50+ Delicious Vegan Spring Recipes

    Posted: Mar 26, 2022 ยท Updated: Apr 7, 2022

    Here are more than 50 easy and tasty vegan spring recipes made using the season's bounty of fruits, vegetables and herbs. There are so many tasty foods you can cook up this time of year using asparagus, artichokes, apricots, beets, carrots, chard, cherries, dandelion greens, fennel, kale, leeks, lemons, mangoes, mushrooms, new potatoes, radishes, rhubarb, spinach, spring onions and strawberries, and herbs like cilantro, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme and basil. I hope you'll enjoy making these for family and friends as the weather warms up in coming weeks.
