Continuing on our quest to eat seasonally all year long, we will look at what is in season for the month of May.
Incorporating This Seasons Produce
Some of the ways to enjoy the produce that is freshest right now
- A fresh fruit platter of cherries, apples, strawberries, apricots, bananas, and avocado.
- A tray of crisp raw vegetables for dipping, such as carrots, celery, asparagus, and kale.
- Dried apricots are really good when chopped up and added to a warm wild rice dish.
- Use raw cabbage, carrots and celery to start off a great Cole slaw dish.
- Avocado toast
- Use artichokes for a warm spinach and artichoke dip.
- Bananas are great for adding a creamy consistency to smoothies and protein shakes.
- Turn a perfectly ripened avocado into a delicious guacamole.
- Strawberries, cherries and apples can be made into homemade jams or jellies.
- Run apples, carrots, and celery through a juicer to make a nicely balanced fresh juice.
