Dietitians are always encouraging clients to eat more fruits and vegetables. But, when a client asks you what herbs and spices complement their seasonal produce, do you know what to tell them? Each season has a wealth of fresh produce depending on the region you live in. Many herbs and spices pair nicely with the produce but it can be a challenge to figure this out. There are distinctive flavors from herbs and spices that work well together, not to mention the many health benefits a client can receive from adding these to their daily cooking.
With the arrival of spring, local produce starts to make its return to market. In part two of the series, Spring Fling, Shayna Komar, RD, LD, and Chef Nancy Waldeck will provide recipes, tips, and ideas for RDs to use to guide their clients in using seasonal produce. In Spring Fling, Shayna and Nancy will highlight:
- Arugula
- Asparagus
- Beets
- Bok Choy
- Lettuces
- Radishes
The live version of this webinar was presented by Shayna Komar RD, LD, and Chef Nancy Waldeck, on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 from 2-3 pm ET. This recorded version is approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
