Finally, after months of potatoes, onions and winter squash, things are looking more green around here! If you haven’t been to the farmer’s market these days, you might be surprised at how much fresh local produce is finally in season — in New York for example, you’ll find asparagus, baskets full of fresh herbs, spring onions, ramps, spinach, rhubarb and even strawberries. Sometimes, in the face of such verdant bounty, it’s a good idea to have a recipe or two in mind. Here’s a list of 13 spring-inspired Jewish favorites that are full of greens and perfect for your next Shabbat or dinner party.

  1. Ramp Chimichurri Challah
  2. Challah with a Chinese Twist from Molly Yeh (filled with scallions!)
  3. Matzah Brei with Ramp Pesto
  4. Spring Zucchini Kugel
