Here’s a recipe found on The Bitten Word food blog, originally from Fine Cooking Magazine. This salad is just sprinkled with salt and then laid onto the grill, cut side down, until the greens have a nice char. It’s a very brief grilling, but it brings a great, summery flavor to the salad. Serves 8.

From the Washington Post, here’s a delicious summer squash and onion dish. The variety to use here is the pale yellow crookneck squash, but yellow zucchini (or a mix of green and yellow zucchini) will also be fine. Small to medium-size squash work best. Because they typically contain less water and fewer seeds, they will contribute more flavor and texture to the dish. Serves 4.

Found on thekitchn.com, this slaw is the perfect side dish for a summer picnic. It can be prepared very quickly, especially if you have a mandoline or food processor handy. The slaw is very lightly dressed, so feel free to increase the wet ingredients if you prefer a more heavily dressed slaw. Like any slaw, feel free to substitute different ingredients – try it with Napa or green cabbage if that’s what you have. Serves 4-6.

Although the title says “cream”, there is nothing high fat about this soup. The creaminess comes from the farina and the puréeing of the soup. Serves 8.
