Summer

The classic components of a BLT get enhanced with a spicy, zesty horseradish mayo—the ideal foil for ripe summer tomatoes and salty bacon.

You can do the grilling for this dinner a full day ahead. Then just pull the grilled chicken and peppers out of the refrigerator an hour before serving and toss them with the sweet-tart vinaigrette.

Tangy seared plums, tart lemons, and chewy charred halloumi pair perfectly with rich pork chops. Quick tip: Bring all of the ingredients to the grill on a baking sheet for easy cleanup later.

You don’t need pasta to enjoy clam sauce. Here it mingles with fresh corn to top delicate pan-seared cod fillets.

Bursting with jammy cherry tomatoes that make their own sauce, this rice noodle–and–chili oil riff on the classic Italian pasta takes just 20 minutes to throw together.

This ribbon salad is evidence that you need a mandoline in your life. The shaved cucumber and melon will release some liquid and lose a bit of crunch after they’re dressed, so toss everything together just before serving.

This summer, take your peaches to dinner. Combine the fruit with a zippy dressing, ripe tomatoes, and creamy cheese for the ultimate sweet-salty-savory salad.

Grilling the chiles tames their heat a bit and adds a nice smoky flavor to this green sauce. You can fine-tune the heat by using fewer or more chiles, depending on the intensity of the ones you have and your personal taste. This sauce goes well 
with any grilled meat or fish.
