Fresh fruits:
Rustic Blueberry-Plum GaletteI love love LOVED this galette. It was so tempting to eat the whole thing in one sitting. Blueberry season just feels like the pinnacle of summer, and there's no better way to eat them than in a pie.
If you prefer cheesecake over pie, then maybe you can find some middle ground with a cheesecake pie! Blackcaps or black raspberries were my urban foraging adventure in Michigan. Who knows what I'll find this year down in South Carolina!
There's nothing like getting your serving of fruit in cold, refreshing beverage form while sitting out on the porch enjoying the last rays of sunlight. This gin fizz tasted like a gourmet soda with a touch of gin - fancy and satisfying, all in one.
Colorful Veggies:
Veggie Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Dipping SauceI had to put spring rolls on the list, for obvious reasons. But just look at that rainbow of colors! Spring rolls are a great appetizer - and they're easy to put together! I made them for Easter last year and they were a total hit.
These taco boats are a lighter, gluten-free / Paleo version of their tortilla counterparts. All the deliciousness of a taco, delivered in an endive wrap. Because tacos. But also bikini season.
This dish is as delicious as it is gorgeous, combining grilled chicken and a cilantro-lime dressing with a veggie-rich black bean salad. Grilled chicken, people! Dig that grill out and remind yourself how great it is to be able to grill outside.
As long as we're on the subject of colorful, delicious things, let's pretend for a second that basil is a vegetable and add lime-basil juice to the list! With or without the margarita, this juice was one of the most interesting things I've made. Highly recommended!
Spicy Grilled Caribbean Tuna
If it makes you feel better, you can grill up some kabob veggies to go with it.
