So, when I want to freshen up my diet, I think “green.” If you’re looking for a vegetable-forward main dish, I heartily recommend [Spinach and Ricotta Gnudi with Tomato-Butter Sauce](. These Italian dumplings look fancy, but they are actually so simple (thank you, frozen spinach). Supermarket cherry or grape tomatoes are great in the quick sauce and let me dream about my own garden tomatoes (check back in late July!). Want something with fresh spinach? Let me introduce you to [Spinach and Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing](. It’s both retro and trendy and has a brilliant technique for quick-pickling red onions that relies on the microwave to heat up some of the punchy/sweet dressing. I always start my meal planning with the sides. My current jam: [Roasted Kale with Coriander, Coconut, and Ginger]( which is superflavorful, extra-quick, and ridiculously easy (just four ingredients, plus salt and oil). No surprise: A copy of [The Complete Plant-Based Cookbook]( sits on my counter because it has so many creative recipes such as [Broccoli Salad with Avocado Dressing]( (the avocado is pureed to make a creamy, lemony dressing). With eggs (my favorite protein at this time of year) and FIVE green vegetables (chard, baby spinach, peas, dill, and mint), [Green Shakshuka]( screams “so long, winter” and “hello spring.” Hooray!
