However, when we start to wax poetic about leaves changing and apple cider and boots and sweaters and pumpkin doughnuts, we often forget how seriously gratifying it is when winter turns to spring. Seeing leaves on the trees again, leaving the house without a jacket on, and daylight lasting past 6:00 p.m. are serious competition to the pumpkin spice latte. When I think spring, I think green. Green lawns, green trees, flowers beginning to bloom after months of desolation. When it comes to the food we eat, some of the most nutritious ones are green so I like to incorporate it into as many things as possible, especially spring appetizers.
