    Easy Summer Recipes

    Summer cooking should be fresh, colorful, and easy-lots of peak-season produce, plenty of grilling, and as little time in a hot kitchen as possible.

    These are the recipes I reach for when the farmers market is overflowing: produce-packed dishes like my Peach Caprese Salad and Chopped Mediterranean Cucumber Salad, 4-Ingredient Pasta Salad, and Copycat Chipotle Corn Salsa. It's also the time when I search for easy warm-weather dinners that take minimal time in the oven (or better yet, are made on the grill), like my Mediterranean Grilled Chicken and Skirt Steak Tacos. I also cannot resist my favorite summer cold treats like Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream, Tajin Watermelon, Ice Cream Nachos, and Cherry Pineapple Popsicles. All simple, seasonal, and made for summer.
