Spring is here. What is in season?
Spinach
Strawberries
Green onions - sometimes called scallions - but never by me 
Lots of other wonderful and delicious things are also in season like rhubarb, sugar snap peas and asparagus. Don’t you just love this time of year when the world is waking up from a winter’s nap and starting to take on beautiful color? Spring is one of my favorite times of year. I love feeling the sunshine and how the days start to get longer and longer. It is invigorating and wonderful!
Okay, so let’s put some of those in-season things together for:
Today’s Lagniappe: Fresh Spinach and Strawberry Salad
