Summertime is all about those fresh ingredients. That can mean produce from the garden or a local farmers market, fresh seafood, recipes that can be made outside or require little to no cooking. Things like a Mint Watermelon Salad, a fresh mango pineapple salsa, or just a simple steamed salmon with herbs and lemon.
Below is a collection of all my favorite summertime recipes. If you want to learn how to grow your own fresh produce browse my gardening resources.
