Vegetarian Italian Chopped Salad

For such a short month, February has been quite a whirlwind. The weather has been wild around the country and all we can do is hope spring decides to show up early. In the meantime, we tried to find our footing this month by feeding ourselves well.

We published lots of great new recipes in February. Your favorites were some of the most comforting, like homemade strozzapreti pasta and chocolate peanut butter cookies, along with some veggie-packed hits, too, like a bright chopped salad and mushroom Bolognese. Here are the top 10 new recipes from this month.
