March 20 officially marks the first day of spring, letting all of society know that the time for florals and all things springtime has arrived. As we transition into the dreamy days of spring, the foods that people gravitate towards shift as well. If you are looking for a guide or just some inspiration, here are a few up and coming trends for the best spring palette.

Highlighted in the massive trend of Dubai chocolate, a bar with creamy pistachio filling and crispy shredded phyllo dough has risen in popularity. Not only does Dubai chocolate continue to proliferate all types of food, such as croissants, cookies, brownies and lattes, but pistachio itself continues to be incorporated in various dishes. From spring salads to lattes and muffins, pistachio is the perfect flavor for your spring palette. 

While most commonly seen as a fragrance, lavender is an astonishing delicious herb to compliment many meals this spring. Lavender lemonade is a perfect blend of sweet and sour, elevating the refreshing drink. Lavender is also delicious in most desserts, such as ice cream, cupcakes, and shortbread. If you’re looking for something more hearty, lavender infused focaccia, and lavender and lemon roasted chicken are two substantially spring dish options. 

Despite the broadness, berries are an amazing additive to springtime sustenance. A raspberry glaze pairs deliciously with salmon and chicken. Strawberries make excellent accents to a refreshing salad. And blueberries are perfect for any waffle, pancake, bread or cookie that you crave during this spring.

Ensure your food embodies the feelings of spring and consider pistachio, lavender and berries as you curate your palette this season.
