I mentioned that I’m not the biggest fan of mayo... specifically I have a lot of opinions about potato salad having mayo. Don’t get me wrong, there are some great recipes ~like my step-mom’s potato salad~ but more often then not potato salad is more mayo than anything. This recipe helps break that mold with a refreshing and not-so-heavy take on a summer classic.

Tomato, watermelon, feta is a pretty regular salad. A lot of people love it and we posted a recipe for Juneteenth, but this time we’re stepping it up a notch! Specifically, the Chhonk (turmeric oil) elevates this salad and makes it unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before! I highly recommend making this salad (and start experimenting more with tempering).

There’s nothing better than grilled corn. Really, in my opinion, it’s one of those summer essentials. Especially since corn season is so short! This recipe is super flexible too since you can really use anything you have on hand, so get creative! Also, a tip for removing the kernels: on a clean kitchen towel prop corn up with butt of the ear touching the towel. Using one hand to support the corn, carefully slice downwards using a knife and let kernels fall into towel. Then, transfer kernels to a bowl.

This is like the perfect hybrid between a Negroni and Aperol Spritz. Something new to try considering it felt like summer 2018 was the summer of Negroni and 2019 - summer of spritz. This is bitter, refreshing, and pairs perfectly with that smash burger!

The classic, but this one is especially pandemic + 4th of July friendly since you grill it! Serving directly from the grill (on to a clean plate) is one of the best ways to responsibly serve food. We want a safe, healthy, and delicious Independence Day!

So, I know that I’m posting two cantaloupe salads, but I love panzanella. So, I’m always looking for reasons to try a new panzanella recipe. Like, it’s salad + bread! What’s not to love!?

This salad seems super simple, but it’s really pretty and definitely a refreshing option. I would’ve never thought to pair cantaloupe with tarragon, but there’s something about the flavors that play incredibly well together. Plus, the saltiness of the salted dry ricotta with the bite snap peas give this salad an incredibly vibrant energy fit for the hottest days of the summer.

Not only does this look beautiful, but it tastes delicious! I’m pretty sure this actually inspired by the ratatouille in the film, Ratatouille. Like, it does look so similar!

If you’re not having friends over, this is a great little api. The carrots get crispy, sweet, and delicious! I recommend going spicy on the dipping sauce cause I’m not the biggest fan of mayo taste.
