April 25 : Arbor Day (really green-coloured recipes with avocado, lime, and green beans!)
Trees give us air, shade, beauty, and the color green! The first Arbor Day was celebrated in the Spanish village of Villanueva de la Sierra. While Napoleon worked to expand his empire, the village priest encouraged a festival to recognize the importance of trees for health, decoration, nature, and the environment.
This folksy theme still prevails as communities use the day to plant trees and celebrate the benefits trees offer to air quality and scenery. Today, you can commemorate the one thing all trees share in common whether they have leaves or needles: the color green. These quick and easy dinner recipes and side dishes feature green-colored foods including avocado, green beans, and limes. We threw in some quick appetizer recipes too. Check out our food stylists' favorite ways to feature the color green. Enjoy these nutritious and flavorful fruits and vegetables today!
