Who else is ready for spring?!

My countdown is officially on for winter to be over. I am ready to trade in my winter jacket and boots for sunshine and fresh flowers. The idea of bundling up in my jacket, boots, and all the other layers is daunting to me at this point. We've had a couple of days of promising temperatures and longer days, so my fingers are crossed for a speedy spring arrival (contrary to what Punxsutawney Phil had to say).

One of my favorite parts about the seasons changing is the produce! Goodbye random root season, hello asparagus, strawberries, avocados, and so much more!

It will be time to move on from soups, stews, and my warm salads, and have instead been making fresh, seasonal dishes that are light, bright, and totally springlike.

Today, I'm hoping to inspire you to get excited about spring and join me in drooling over these 25 absolutely perfect spring quinoa salad recipes.
