Strawberries, rhubarb, and melons are becoming more abundant in my local grocery store, and along with mangoes, grapes, peaches, citrus fruits, pears and raspberries, the choices are very tempting. One of the best things about spring and summer fruits is that the recipes are naturally simpler and lower in fat because the ingredients are so succulent and don't need extra flavor. Try these excellent recipes for everything from appetizers to breads to entrees, and you can celebrate spring in a delicious way.
