You could make a beeline to the farmers market for gorgeous spring produce...or you could lean on whatever’s in your pantry. Either way (and yes, in this economy), you can still enjoy everything the warm weather has to offer this month in the form of refreshing salads, simple pastas and hearty skillet meals alike.
Here are 31 easy dinner recipes to make in May that are timely, flexible and foolproof. I love them because they put peak-delicious fruits and veggies in the spotlight, along with festive ideas for Cinco de Mayo and Memorial Day weekend. My favorites include a potato and spring pea frittata, weeknight salmon with baby new potatoes and dill and asparagus and artichoke paella.
