Spring abounds with fresh seasonal foods, so why not serve them to your family and friends?
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends:
Health Tips
* Serving up some fresh spinach, which is loaded
with vitamins and minerals. Use it as a salad base or a side dish, or add to sauces or soups.
* Dish up calcium-rich yogurt layered with fresh seasonal fruit and cereal.
* Fresh strawberries are abundant during spring. Serve these nutritional powerhouses sliced on top of cereal or yogurt, or pureed as a smoothie.
* Asparagus spears are rich in folate, vitamins A and K, and iron. Roll them in crumbs and egg, and bake into a crispy treat.
