I've been looking for spring recipes, the kind both my mom and mother-in-law grew up on, to use for a Mother's Day meal. My mom especially has been reminiscing about many of her own mother's recipes she made up and used during the spring when the wild greens became available. I've been able to find some recipes online using rhubarb, strawberries, dandelions, ramps, nettles, sorrels, spinach, asparagus and salmon -- some good ones and then some:

Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Quiche

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon onion salt
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoon milk
4 eggs, beat well
1 package (3½ to 4½ ounces) smoked salmon, flaked (I used non-smoked salmon)
1 package (10 ounces frozen asparagus cuts, thawed and drained (I used fresh and cooked/blanched first)
1 cup shredded Havarti cheese or Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces) (I used Havarti cheese)
1 cup whipping (heavy) cream (I omitted & used ½ cup milk)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill weed or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed (I used only 1 teaspoon of dill, one time I completely omitted)
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1 Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, and onion salt in medium bowl. Beat oil and milk in measuring cup with fork until creamy. Pour mixture over flour mixture; stir until dough forms.
2 Pat dough on bottom and side of ungreased pie plate, 9x1¼ inches, or quiche dish, 9x1½ inches. Sprinkle salmon over crust. Cut off bottom one-third of each asparagus spear; reserve top spear portions. Chop asparagus ends; spring over salmon. Sprinkle cheese evenly over asparagus.
3 Beat eggs, whipping cream, dill weed, salt and pepper in medium bowl with wire whisk. Slowly pour egg mixture over quiche ingredients. Arrange reserved asparagus in spoke fashion on top of quiche
4 Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake 40 to 45 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with strips of aluminum foil after 10 to 15 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
