Apricots are very good for your body and as a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they should be a regular part of your diet. They are however commonly seen as only being used in sweet dishes or eaten as snacks. These three examples of savory dishes have apricots at their center and are absolutely delicious.

Apricot And Feta Quinoa Salad

Combine some cooked quinoa with small bits of fresh apricots, feta cheese, fresh mint leaves, and some pine nuts for a delicious and healthy salad. This salad is boosted by a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, with a squeeze of lemon juice for sharpness. The apricots will add a vibrant color as well as a tangy sweetness that makes this salad extra special.

Lamb Tagine With Apricots

A tagine is an aromatic Moroccan stew that often slow-cooks vegetables with meat. Create a lamb tagine that is rich with flavor by incorporating apricots with your onions, chickpeas and a Moroccan-influenced spice mix with cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. Apricots will add a sweetness to your tagine that is nicely balanced by the lamb and cumin. Serve with bread or couscous to absorb the liquid and enjoy!

Apricot Chutney For Grilled Fish

This apricot chutney has a hint of spice and will pair great with grilled fish. To make your chutney, simmer diced fresh apricots with chili flakes, ginger, red onion, and a bit of apple cider vinegar. Reduce down and blend, depending on how thick you like your chutney. The chutney can be applied to the fish before you grill it, or spread across as a topping after it has cooked. Either way, the sweetness will be complemented by the umami flavor of your grilled fish and is a great use of apricots in your savory cooking.

When spring comes around, a whole new batch of seasonal fruits and vegetables becomes available for us to enjoy at the peak of their flavor and taste. While some fruits that come into season in spring are pretty normal and every day, there are others that perhaps don’t get enough love in our kitchens.

Here are some that you should check out.

Kumquats

Have you ever tried a kumquat before? These small fruits, which look like a miniature, oblong orange, have an intensely sweet and tart flavor that makes them a great choice for snacking. Be sure to eat the peel, too!

Apricots

While you’ve probably seen apricot-flavored things all over the place in your life, have you ever had the chance to sit down and eat one? The soft, tender flesh of this peach-like fruit has a sweet and slightly tart flavor, and also is a great source of fiber.

Grapefruits

One of my favorite spring breakfasts is as simple as this big fruit sliced in two and sprinkled with a bit of sugar. The intensely sour flavor of grapefruits might not be for all, but adding just a little bit of sweetness makes it one of my favorite fruit flavors.
