The best way to celebrate springtime is by using fresh baby greens and all the produce this time of year has to offer. We paired the greens with creamy polenta and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a surefire weeknight winner; it takes just 20 minutes to put together. Feel free to add more or less broth to this recipe depending on how thick you like your polenta. Just keep in mind that you should serve the polenta as soon as it thickens to maintain its creaminess. No spinach on hand? Chopped, cooked, and drained broccoli makes for a delicious alternative.
