Let’s start with pasta. This versatile dish is perfect for summer as it can be served hot, cold, or at room temperature. One of our favorite is our lemon spaghetti with asparagus. This light and zesty dish is bursting with flavor and takes just a few minutes to whip up. Alternatively, try our creamy pesto pasta salad with cherry tomatoes and pine nuts. This dish is perfect for a picnic or al fresco dining and can be made in advance, it a stress-free option for busy summer days.
Moving onto rice dishes, the summer months are perfect for experimenting with different flavors and ingredients. Our favorite recipe is our summer vegetable paella, bursting with fresh vegetables and fragrant seasoning. Alternatively, for a lighter option, try our lemon and herb rice pilaf. This dish is simple yet delicious and pairs perfectly with grilled meats or fish.
Finally, soups are often overlooked in summer but are perfect for those cooler evenings when the temperatures drop. Our recommendation would be our creamy tomato and basil soup, which can be enjoyed hot or cold and is bursting with summery flavors. For something a little different, try our chilled cucumber and yogurt soup, which is perfect for those scorching hot days when you need something refreshing and light.
