Peas and fava beans are everywhere in many of California’s farmers’ markets. In Texas, the growing season is in full swing, with strawberry season already giving way to early zucchini and yellow squash. We aren’t yet quite as lucky here in the Northeast, but the first of the spring lettuces are starting to pop up.

Personally, I’m looking forward to making some great salads full of leafy greens, fresh shell beans, some chopped dates for sweetness and a few walnuts for crunch. Drizzle on some lemon tahini dressing and I’m good to go! What about you? What are your plans (present or not-too-distant future) for spring’s delicious offerings?
