In spring, the body slowly awakens from its "mini-hibernation" and hormonal changes occur. To give the body the best possible support for its spring awakening, light meals with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables should be on the menu. These spring breads are perfect as a light meal, quick to prepare and a real taste explosion with the fresh wild garlic spread! I used a moist, gluten-free pumpkin seed bread as the base. You can find the recipe on freiknuspern.de - a great blog by the lovely Fabienne, who also creates lots of allergy-friendly recipes😊 I hope you enjoy trying it out and that you like my spring creation. And if you would like to find out more about "the right diet in spring", I recommend my latest blog post on: Spring fatigue - start spring actively with these 5 tips. Sunny greetings, yours Nicole☀️

Ingredients

4 slices of gluten-free pumpkin seed bread - alternatively a wholemeal bread of your choice
1 handful of sprouts
1 Apple
8 green asparagus
1 vegan cream cheese (e.g. from New Roots)
15g wild garlic, washed
1/2 lime
1/4 tsp thyme or herbs of your choice
some salt & pepper

Topping (optional)

Maple syrup or honey, if not vegan

This is how it's done

Wash the asparagus and cut off the ends. Bring the water to the boil in a wide pan, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Add the asparagus to the boiling water and bring to the boil again. Remove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid and leave to infuse for approx. 10 minutes. Remove the asparagus, drain and set aside.
In the meantime, wash the apple and cut into thin slices.
Wash and finely chop the wild garlic. Mix the wild garlic with the cream cheese, add the juice of half a lime and season with herbs, salt and pepper.
Top the pumpkin seed bread with the wild garlic spread, apple slices, asparagus and sprouts and arrange on plates. If you like, you can drizzle a little maple syrup over the apple slices😊
