1. Mediterranean Grazing Board

Too hot to cook? This versatile veggie, fruit and cheese platter scales up or down to feed a couple or a crowd. It’s equally delicious with homemade dips or store-bought accompaniments.

2. Grilled Vegetable Grain Bowl With Citrus Vinaigrette and Feta

This hearty, customizable bowl is a delicious way to please different palates and dietary needs.

3. Peach Chia Custard Parfait With Pistachio Crunch

The balance of creamy, sweet, tart and salty flavors makes this parfait a feast for the senses. The luscious, layered, make-ahead treat is a cool option for breakfast, a snack or dessert.

4. Spicy Stone Fruit Gazpacho With Basil Oil

Move over, tomatoes! This chilled soup stars juicy watermelon and peaches. With a jalapeño kick and a drizzle of basil oil, it tastes like summer in a bowl. Be sure to choose fully ripe fruit.

5. Zucchini Spirals With Grilled Prawns and Cherry Tomatoes

Succulent prawns and ripe tomatoes bursting with sweetness nestle in pesto-coated “zoodles.” —Halona Black
