Spring Ayurvedic Meal Pairing

Side: Bitter Greens & Fennel Salad

A fresh, lightly pungent salad to awaken digestion and balance Kapha.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup arugula or dandelion greens
  • 1/2 cup thinly shaved fennel
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tsp toasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
  • Dressing: Lemon juice, a dash of olive oil, salt, and black pepper

Optional add-on: Thin slices of avocado (Vata/Pitta only)

Drink: Cumin-Mint Digestive Cooler

A refreshing yet slightly warming drink that stokes agni (digestive fire).

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups warm water (let cool to room temp)
  • 1/4 tsp roasted cumin powder
  • 3–4 fresh mint leaves, muddled
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Pinch of pink salt

Stir well and sip slowly, room temp or just slightly cool (not cold).

Dessert: Cardamom-Spiced Pear Stew with Toasted Nuts

Sweet but light and ideal for spring, spiced fruit is easier to digest than cold sweets.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe pear, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • Pinch of clove (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp ghee
  • 1–2 tbsp water
  • Topping: toasted walnuts or pistachios, and a drizzle of maple or date syrup

Directions: Stew pears with spices, ghee, and water for 5–10 minutes until soft. Top with nuts and a touch of sweetener.

All three pair beautifully with the creamy daal risotto.
