Spring brings renewal to the earth, with blossoms and fresh shoots emerging as temperatures rise. This freshness extends to our meals, where the vibrant greens of spring produce take center stage.
Eating seasonally means enjoying ingredients at their freshest and most flavorful, while also supporting local farmers and sustainability efforts. During spring, lighter dishes like salads with sugar snap peas and seared fish are perfect. Look for these ingredients at local markets or grow them yourself for the best taste.
One delicious option is an Asian-inspired spring salad, bursting with umami flavor from ingredients like cilantro, scallions, Thai basil, and spicy Sambal Olek. Don’t forget the watermelon radish, known for its vibrant color and mild peppery taste, adding crunch to the salad. This salad embodies the Cura philosophy of nourishing wellbeing with every bite, making it a perfect start to any meal.”
