Spring time has to be one of my most favourite times of the year. As the season changes we get to say hello to new Australian produce and fresh new meal ideas for our tables.
Asparagus is a fabulous spring time vegetable that is highly versatile and delicious. The Australian season is relatively short, so you’ve got to make the most of them being in Aussie markets.
Here at The Healthy Eating Hub, we’re passionate about buying local, seasonal produce and preparing food that’s both simple and delicious. Not only does buying local support the local economy, it also reduces the impact on the environment and local produce is usually better quality.
Why not grab yourself some delicious Aussie produce next time you’re at your local market and make up this incredibly easy, yet super tasty and nutritious warm pink lady and asparagus salad. All the flavours go so wonderfully together, as my daughter would say, it’s like a party in your tummy! Enjoy!
