Vegetarian Dinner Ideas for April

March 31, 2019 by Alexandra Daum
Vegetarian Dinner Ideas for April | occasionallyeggs.com

15 vegetarian dinner ideas for April. Peas, hardier greens (like rucola and some lettuce), carrots, beets, leeks, wild garlic, and oranges are in season in April.

Soon we’ll have more variety in the north – radishes, asparagus, new potatoes, etc. and there’s some crossover within months, of course. We’ll see some of those foods closer to the end of the month so I’ve shared a bit of that here. Seasonal food tastes better and costs less, so it’s a win-win! 

Green Pea Hummus + A Spring Mezze
This pastel green pea hummus is made with spring peas, chickpeas, and lemon for a lighter, sweeter variation of vegan hummus. Serve with fresh seasonal vegetables and strawberries to make a beautiful spring mezze.
