I love you, winter vegetables. But I'm moving on to greener pastures, particularly those full of asparagus. Even though it's available at the grocery store year-round, it's at peak freshness in the spring (from April to May, to be specific). Asparagus is a stellar source of fiber, folate and vitamins A, C, E and K. More importantly, it's delicious, versatile and begging for a spot in your weekly rotation.
Make the most of the season's bounty with these 31 asparagus recipe ideas that are simple, unexpected and delicious. The list includes salads, pastas, appetizers and soups alike. But my personal favorites are skillet steak with asparagus and potatoes, asparagus and artichoke paella and spring vegetable risotto.
