Make the most out of the delicious fresh produce that’s best in season this spring.

<p>Welcome to spring!&nbsp;</p>
<p>We’re not just excited about the warmer weather – we’re all about the best-in-season fresh produce, and tasty dishes that come with it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>From light and refreshing lunches to wholesome dinners, we’ve got recipes to suit everyone. Discover new ways to cook with delicious fresh produce and create meals that’ll delight around the dinner table.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Apples&nbsp;</h2>
<p>If you’re a fan of these juicy fruits then you’re in luck – because they’ve just come into season! And what’s not to love? They’re good for your gut health, naturally fat free, and keep you fuller for longer. Truly best of British.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While they make delicious snacks and are packed full of flavour, they’re also great for cooking in both sweet and savoury dishes. Give our <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/sausage-and-apple-casserole" target="_self">Sausage and Apple Casserole</a> a try for a warming dinner that ticks all the boxes.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Cucumbers&nbsp;</h2>
<p>The humble cucumber leaves a good impression on every dish it touches. From a simple tuna and cucumber sandwich to a pitcher of Pimms, it’s refreshing and cooling – and best of British for April.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>But the cucumber can be more than just an addition to your favourite dishes. Make it the star attraction with our <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/lentil-dhal-cucumber-salad" target="_self">Lentil Dhal with Cucumber Salad</a> and enjoy a fresh twist on a midweek curry.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Spring Onions&nbsp;</h2>
<p>The clue is in the name – spring has sprung, and so have the spring onions! In fact, they’re one of the first veggies to pop up in the new season. So, if you want to get your hands on the most tender of the spring onions while they’re best in season, now’s your time to shop.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We love this moreish <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/spring-onion-and-asparagus-frittata" target="_self">Spring Onion and Asparagus Frittata</a>. Why not try cooking it up with a crunchy side salad?&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Watercress&nbsp;</h2>
<p>The infamous April showers are definitely good for one thing – watercress! As watercress needs wet soil to grow at its best, the damp spring weather means we get extra flavoursome salads. It’s rich in vitamin C, calcium, iron and folic acid, and adds a peppery – yet smooth – edge to dishes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Try our <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/greek-flatbread-recipe" target="_self">Watercress and Feta Flatbreads with Za’atar</a> for a Greek-inspired snack with a Middle Eastern twist.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Cauliflower&nbsp;</h2>
<p>From playing a side role in a traditional roast dinner to taking centre stage in a veggie alternative, the cauliflower is both affordable and accessible.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>As well as flavour, it’s also packed with vitamin C and B6, and folate, protein and fibre.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Give our easy-to-make <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/creamy-cauliflower-turmeric-curry" target="_self">Creamy Cauliflower Curry</a> a go for a midweek treat that both meat-eaters and vegetarians will love.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Rhubarb&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Psst… did you know that rhubarb is actually a vegetable? And that’s not the only fact we love about this custard companion – it’s also one of the only vegetables that grows all year round.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, when April comes around, rhubarb goes from being grown in the dark (to stop it from becoming too tough) to being grown in the field. Now that’s what we call best in season!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>While there are many ways to use rhubarb, we absolutely love this luxurious ice cream. It’s super easy to put together – and will keep in the freezer for a couple of weeks.&nbsp;</p>
