Standout Dishes for Your Spring Celebrations
It’s that time of year again, when grocery stores are overflowing with spring greens and fresh fruits. Check out some of our most popular recipes to bring fresh, vibrant flavors to your spring table.
We waited patiently all winter for dozens of delicious fruits and veggies to return to our local farmers’ markets: asparagus, artichokes, peas, rhubarb, juicy strawberries, mangoes, and more.
As the weather begins to warm up, we look to seasonal ingredients—and our olive oil packed premium tuna—for recipe inspiration. Hosting a celebration this spring? Here are six standout dishes that will make spring entertaining feel like a Mediterranean dream.
Tuna Asparagus Quiche with Sun Dried Tomatoes
This elegant and easy quiche is loaded with fresh flavor and fancy flair. Springtime brings a bounty of vibrant, tender asparagus spears that pair perfectly with luscious yellowfin tuna and tangy sun dried tomatoes. Leftovers? Unlikely.
Yellowfin Tuna & Artichoke Pasta
If you’re hosting an al fresco dinner party, this recipe is for you. Roasted artichokes, garlic, fresh herbs, and luscious yellowfin tuna are tossed with al dente spaghetti in a light and lemony white wine sauce and topped with toasted pistachios for crunch. Dining outdoors has never been so delicious.
Tuna Pasta Salad with Arugula Pesto & Dates
Pasta salad always has a place on any spring table, and this one is equal parts bold and bright, thanks to arugula pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and kalamata olives. Protein-rich tuna brings even more flavor while dates add a subtle sweetness. You can use any pasta shape you like, but we love the way the pesto pools in the little hollows of the orecchiette.
Tuna Caesar Salad with Chickpea Croutons
We gave one of the world’s most iconic salads an upgrade. Succulent albacore tuna, paprika-coated chickpea croutons and homemade dressing take your everyday Caesar salad from bland to best-ever. Not to mention, crispy romaine lettuce is at its peak freshness this time of year. You’ll fall in love with lunch all over again.
Lemon Spaghetti with Tuna & Breadcrumbs
This quick and easy weeknight dinner or side dish is made with ingredients you probably already have on hand. It’s the perfect marriage of flavors, from the hearty albacore tuna and briny olives to the fresh chives and garlicky breadcrumbs. A generous amount of lemon adds a citrusy spring zing to brighten up the pasta. Time to check that pantry!
Tuna White Bean Herb Salad
This light and simple tuna salad is loaded with fresh lemon, aromatic seasonal herbs like dill, and cannellini beans for extra protein. Plus, it comes together in less than 15 minutes. Serve on toasted sourdough bread, enjoy straight from the bowl, or make ahead as part of your weekly meal prep.
