Last week we had a brief glimpse of spring, and it put me in the mood for all kinds of light, airy, spring-like dishes. While I’ll always be a comfort food kind of girl, the thought of light salads and sandwiches, and easy on-the-go meals is calling to me. So are those lighter, summer jeans hiding at the bottom of my drawer…
This dish is going to be on repeat all spring and summer. It’s bright and full of spring flavors but it’s also so comforting. I can practically feel the warm rays of sunshine on my face and the wicker picnic basket stashed away for the winter when I eat this dish. Last week I prepared it in a sandwich with fresh, crisp baby spinach, a red cabbage slaw and delicious artisan twelve grain bread. But it would also be amazing in a wrap (tortilla or lettuce), or scooped high on a spinach or arugula salad with fresh mandarin and strawberry slices.
Any way you serve it, it’s bound to become a warm weather favorite!
