If you can get them, use spring ramps in this dip instead of scallions. They have a short season, so if you see them, buy them.

To swipe through that avocado dip, pita chips are great. But if you have the time, these seeded crackers take it beyond.

This spin on the gimlet uses shaved fennel and muddled arugula, which gives it an anise-and-pepper flavor that’s ideal for serving with seafood or light pasta dishes.

Kefir—a yogurt-like dairy beverage—adds wonderful tang to this earthy shiitake and kale frittata, but you can sub in plain yogurt instead.

Chock-full of berries, our ultimate muffins have just the right amount of sweetness, plus a gentle tang and tender crumb thanks to sour cream.

A vegetarian pasta lunch that's full of so much fresh arugula (and our favorite chickpeas), it almost feels like eating a salad. In a good way.

Inspired by Greek flavors, this warm salad is balanced by zesty lemon and feta mingling with tender salmon and fresh spring vegetables.

A perfect meringue dessert, with its fissures and epic swirls, also presents a beautiful landscape for garnishes.

These sandwiches are a vegetarian cross between a New Orleans–style muffuletta (hey olive salad!) and a Philadelphia-style pork and broccoli rabe sandwich—except, you know, without the meat.
