5 Recipes to take you from Winter to Spring
December 13, 2025
As the days stretch a little longer and the first signs of spring start peeking through, our kitchens naturally follow suit. We’re craving fresher flavours and brighter colours…but we’re not quite ready to give up the comfort of a warm, nourishing bowl just yet!
To celebrate the shift in seasons, we’ve gathered five delicious spring recipes to try this March. Each one hero’s the gentle, buttery warmth of our Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed oil and the vibrant lift of good ingredients and fresh produce, bringing you dishes that feel fresh, energising, yet still comforting when we need a little boost.
Hot Honey Halloumi Grains Bowl
Quick‑pickled radishes, herby grains, charred purple sprouting broccoli, and golden halloumi meet a drizzle of hot honey and sesame for a bowl that’s fresh, zippy, and full of Spring energy.
Crispy Gnocchi Vegetable Traybake
When we initially posted this recipe by Heather at Rhind & Dine, we were inundated with comments. People loved the ease of cooking everything together in a tray, yet it’s layered with the kinds of bold and robust flavours that often take a lot longer to achieve. The beauty of it is that you can switch out the winter sprouts and cavolo nero for any kind of seasonal veg, making it a great go-to for any season or any mood.
Asparagus, Radish & New Potato Salad
We’re on the cusp of Asparagus season and if you’re lucky, you may have seen some of those bright green spears coming through in your local greengrocers or farm shop already. This tasty salad by Jenny at The Salty Chilli really champions fresh, seasonal veg and can be tweaked depending on what’s available to you at the time (or indeed what your mood dictates!). We just love the clash of colours, textures and flavours, it is a beautiful plate and the perfect canvas for our Honey & Mustard dressing.
Make a mayo
We’re huge fans of making homemade mayo in the Mellow Yellow kitchen. It’s surprisingly easy to achieve with our Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil, and if you have a stick blender, it comes together in seconds. Cheaper and way more tastier than ready made shop bought mayonnaise.
Flatbreads With Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Fluffy and bubbly with light, crispy edges, these homemade flatbreads are a wonderful weapon in your mid-week meal mastery and make a great base for all sorts of toppings. They work brilliantly with our roasted red pepper hummus and can be served open or rolled up with salad and your choice of protein. Versatile & delicious!
