Whether summer is just starting or you are hanging on to those last few warm days and nights, you need recipes that celebrate the season. That’s where the best summer recipes come in.

When it comes to summer appetizers, you want cool and as easy to make as they are to eat, and the drinks have to be totally refreshing.

Side dishes celebrate the season. We all love things like potato salad, pasta salad, and cole slaw because it’s easy to make a big batch to feed a big gathering of friends of family. And with all the amazing fresh produce at the farmers’ market, vegetables taste even better than any other time of the year.

Speaking of veggies, whether as a side or a main dish when topped with your favorite grilled protein, salads are one of the ultimate summer recipes. They can be light and fresh or hearty and satisfying, and the flavor combinations are endless.

When it comes to summer dinner recipes, it’s all about the grill. Grilled chicken, steak on the grill, and even foil packs become staples, though sometimes you do make a meal in the kitchen, but it usually featured favorite summer flavors and ingredients. And of course burgers abound in the summer months.

It’s not just veggies, but fruit is overflowing at the market. Berries and melons and peaches and more all taste amazing just on their own, but adding them to everything from healthy fruit salads to indulgent cakes, cobblers, and parfaits take summer fruits to new levels of deliciousness.

And we can’t forget the sweet stuff. No-bake desserts, ice cream, and popsicles satisfy the sweet tooth while keeping you and your kitchen cool.

So let’s check them all out!!
