Go Green: 15 Spring Recipe Ideas | Food Bloggers of Canada

Every week we pull together some great recipes from Canadian food bloggers around the web featuring one main ingredient.  This week, instead of an ingredient, we're featuring a colour - green!

Spring is starting to sproing across Canada and St. Patrick's Day is only a few days away so let's celebrate green with some Canadian recipes.  Green always feels so refreshing and with great seasonal ingredients like ramps and asparagus, spring is definitely felt in some of these recipes!  But there's also some decadent desserts - after all, mint and chocolate are a classic pairing that can't be ignored!
