Variety comes back to the greengrocers in May... make the most of this month's seasonal local produce and the return of colourful, nutrient-rich salads to the menu.
Fruit and veg: asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, gooseberries, Jersey Royal new potatoes, mint, new carrots, parsley, rhubarb, rocket, samphire, spinach, spring onions, watercress.
Sustainable fish and light meat: crab, Dover sole, haddock, halibut, herring, John Dory, lemon sole, mackerel, plaice, salmon, sardines, sea bass, sea trout, wood pigeon.
May recipes:
Succulent, tender asparagus contains both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients so let's find ways to eat it while it's in season. Roast Asparagus with Sesame Starter is very tasty as a side dish or starter; Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Salad is a very simple but delicious salad; and Special Niçoise Salad is a great twist on the classic Niçoise, without the beans and eggs that some people can't eat, but with plenty of flavour - it's a treat!
Get your seasonal greens in May with Spinach Tortilla, Baked Fish with Samphire and Garlic Mayonnaise, or superfood Quinoa with Sautéed Vegetables and Seeds.
And for May's fruits, why not make a Rhubarb and Gooseberry Crumble?
Please do send us any of your favourites for us to share on the site.
Bon appetit, foodies!
