Spring signifies new beginnings. The fresh, crunchy and colorful young produce is a welcome change after winter’s heartier foods. In celebration of the changing seasons, we’ve rounded up a few spring recipes we’re eager to try, including a vibrant pink beet hummus and seared scallops with minty peas. Try one or try them all, but be sure to pair with one of our H-E-B spring wine finds! Check it all out below.

Recipe Spotlight: Hot Pink Beet Hummus Bowl
Beets are a great way to add vibrant color and good-for-you nutrients to your diet. Come spring, young beets are popping up at the market. As opposed to the larger, earthier ones you’ll find in fall and winter, these guys are crunchy and juicy. This recipe from Brit + Co uses raw spring beets to give this homemade hummus its hot pink color. Learn how to make it HERE.
