Asparagus Recipes to Kick Off Spring 💚

Put asparagus on it! 👇

One of my hopes (and intentions) when I share recipes is that you try them, but also that you make them your own. Use each recipe as a foundation and then get creative with new ingredients; for instance, adding fresh seasonal asparagus to the bowl below would be a great twist!

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

Asparagus grows as a stem up from the ground and can grow up to 5 to 8 inches long, but their roots can be up to 20 feet deep in the soil. Asparagus contains a compound called “Asparagusic Acid” which can make your urine smell! (source)

I look forward to the spring vegetables because the season is so short. Mushrooms, edible foraged herbs, wild leeks, early season asparagus.
