5 Ingredients or Fewer

Nutella Grilled Cheese

Nutella and cheese melt together into a sandwich that's the ideal sweet-and-savory snack.

Toasted Coconut Chia Pudding

Chia seeds thicken this dairy-free pudding as it sits: it's the perfect healthy, make-ahead dessert!

Caramel Sauce and Glaze

Satiny and pleasingly sticky, caramel is one of the most delicious additions to cakes and pastries. The longer the caramel cooks, the darker and less sweet it becomes. You can judge the color by eye or with an accurate instant-read thermometer. Cream of tartar and corn syrup both help prevent crystallization in the finished caramel sauce.

Air Fryer Eggplant With Harissa Yogurt

When you make eggplant in the air fryer, not only do you get a wonderful texture, but you have a healthier version than fried eggplant without anywhere near the mess to clean up.

Fiery Green Tahini Sauce

This is the condiment version of those summer sandals you want to wear with everything. It goes with sandwiches, crunchy vegetables, and chips.

Lemony Yogurt Sauce

Grating the garlic with a Microplane instead of finely chopping reduces it to a pulp so it can dissolve into sauces like this one.

Radish Rainbow Salad

Salting and squeezing the radishes seasons and crisps them.

Plum Salad with Black Pepper and Parmesan

Tossing sliced plums in a mixture of sharp sherry vinegar, honey, black pepper, and shaved Parm brings them into the super-savory zone. Top it all off with a drizzle of your favorite olive oil.

Grilled Serrano Salsa Verde

Grilling the chiles tames their heat a bit and adds a nice smoky flavor to this green sauce. You can fine-tune the heat by using fewer or more chiles, depending on the intensity of the ones you have and your personal taste. This sauce goes well 
with any grilled meat or fish.

Bird of Paradise

This riff on a classic tiki cocktail uses a rich simple syrup to add sweetness without watering things down.

Master Vegetable Marinade

Turn any roasted or grilled vegetable into a picnic-ready cold salad by marinating it for a few hours in this sweet-tart vinaigrette. Stir in your favorite fresh herbs just before serving.

Grilled Corn on the Cob with Salt-and-Pepper Butter

This low-fuss, spreadable salt-and-pepper butter makes seasoning your grilled corn a one-step affair at the dinner table.

Grilled Steak and Mixed Peppers

Top grilled strip steaks with charred shishito and mini bell peppers for a sweet, smoky, occasionally spicy summer dinner.

Oregano-Marinated Tomato Salad

Marinating sliced tomatoes in salt, pepper, olive oil, and fresh oregano intensifies their flavor and brings out their rich juices. Serve with crusty bread for mopping it up.

Matcha Coconut Ice Cream

This dairy-free ice cream is infused with matcha and a touch of organic vanilla, and has a rich, sweet flavor.

Middle Eastern Limonana

This bright-green combination of lemon and mint is found on tables throughout the Middle East.

Limonada de Coco

Limonada is most often translated as “lemonade,” but limes are the best approximation of the Colombian citrus that stars alongside coconut in this barely sweet smoothie.

Cardamom Sharbat

Sharbats are sweet boiled fruit syrups served across Central Asia and Northern Africa, though flavor combinations vary widely. This one is infused with bright, floral, citrusy cardamom that complements the lemon perfectly.

Cedar-Plank Salmon

The salmon takes on a light, smoky woodiness from grilling on a cedar plank, for a lovely pairing of earth and ocean.

Simplest Kale Salad

Memorize the recipe for this classic, cheesy kale salad and make it your go-to side for any family dinner.
