20 Spring Recipes to Get Kids Eating Fresh This Season

You'll forget your favorite takeout's phone number after trying this slow-cooker chicken teriyaki from Cooking Classy. This Asian dish has just the right amount of salty and sweet, which results in lots of empty plates. Boost it with some farm-fresh vegetables to make it even healthier.

If your kids love hamburgers, it's time to introduce them to the burger's fun new cousin. Weelicious's Catherine McCord replaces the beef in the traditional patty with lighter and healthier ground chicken and then jazzes it up with some fresh herbs from the garden to create Middle Eastern chicken burgers. "By incorporating some curry, garlic powder, fresh parsley, and mint into the ground chicken and sauce, you give the ordinary burger a huge burst of unforgettable flavors." She says her family enjoys them off the bun as much as on!

On weeknights, every minute counts, and if Mom and Dad don't need to turn on the stove, that's precious moments saved! Jessica Seinfeld's couscous salad with chickpeas, tomatoes, and mint doesn't require any oven time, as it simply uses hot tap water for making the couscous. Packed with protein and flavor, Jessica says, "it's also perfect the next day for a brown-bag lunch."

This quick, easy, and light chicken dish from A Year at the Table is wonderfully versatile and can be served with rice or pasta. With lots of bright lemon flavor — lemons are juiciest this time of year — this dish is a perfect dinner any night.

Instead of ordering takeout, try making this homemade chicken pizza tonight for a real family-friendly treat. From POPSUGAR Food, this recipe is easier than you think and masks tomatoes with a lot of cheese and fresh flavor. Leave out the jalapeño if your kids aren't into spice.

As the days get warmer, cool off with a refreshingly tropical mango sherbet. The limited ingredients — including one of Spring's powerhouse fruits, the mango — maintain the vivid flavor of the fruit.

Fresh flavors come together in perfect Spring harmony for a lovely asparagus pizza with lemon vinaigrette.

If you're looking for a twist on tradition, it's time to taste some carrot zucchini bread, made with Spring-fresh carrots.
