The Bon Appétit Test Kitchen

For an easy dinner party, round this out with orzo on the side, a green salad, and a light Italian red wine like Dolcetto. Finish with sorbet and chopped dark chocolate.

Salt-and-vinegar chips and Guinness will turn this into a pub dinner.

Even easier: Buy fresh pineapple that's already been peeled.

In this riff on melon and prosciutto, very ripe pears give the juiciest, most delicious result.

For some added kick, garnish with pickled jalapeño slices.
