If you are looking for an easy Easter vegetable dish, look no further! This Lemon Spritz Asparagus & Broccoli dish is so simple and full of flavor. If you are doing an easter dinner or brunch, this recipe works for both. I am so looking forward to easter this year because every holiday is so fun now that Ruth is getting older. I definitely want to do an easter egg hunt and am mostly excited because i’m here for a good activity! Might just hide 100 eggs so she can get to work all day. And now that Milo is here, easter means matching outfits… so we are all pretty pumped about that. Ruthie also happens to actually like asparagus so this recipe is definitely happening for us! This recipe calls for you to cook them on the stove top which I love because a little browning is delish, but you can also blanch them if you prefer your veggies that way.
Having an Easter party or just celebrating with your fam, here are some other yummies to enjoy:

This dish is lovely, the dressing is what makes it, I used goat cheese and sprinkled in some Aleppo pepper for a little extra zip! Great recipe Kelsey!

Great flavors! Love the asparagus/brocolli tender but crunchy combination. Asparagus is currently fresh in my area and I can never get enough of it. I love this new way of preparing it. Thank you. A keeper recipe!
