Fresh and Fun Food for Summer

Summer cooking is all about fresh produce, bright colors, and delicious flavors—all things the recipes below have in spades! Mix up your menu this month with a healthier take on fries and a simple and herbaceous pasta salad.

Delicata squash serves as the perfect potato replacement in fries. They crisp up nicely in the oven and have an extra kick of flavor thanks to the garlicky dip.

Pasta salad is a summer staple, especially at picnics. The orzo in this recipe adds great texture and nuttiness, while the fresh herbs and lemon zest brighten everything up.
