No-Cook

Halibut Ceviche with Tomato and Pineapple

The acidity in the lime juice and tequila will help the fish firm up, but if it sits too long, it will get tough.

This No-Cook Picnic Will Get You Through Summer

It's time to take it easy.

Honeydew, Cucumber, and Mint Soda

Water infused with cucumber and mint gets a bit of natural sweetness from ripe honeydew melon. The salt in the drink helps with rehydration, while lime juice and club soda balance it out.

Green Olive Tapenade

Cerignola and Castelvetrano olives are big, briny, meaty, and sweet. If unavailable, use other types, or simplify with just one.

Yogurt Tartar Sauce

Using yogurt instead of oils to make tartar sauce does three things: it lowers the fat content; gives it a zingy yoghurt tang; and also brings probiotic cultures into your diet. It’s a win, win, win.

Apple Slaw

Serve this tangy vinegar-based slaw with roasted pork or Guy Turland's smoky Barbecue Brisket

Kiwi Ice Pop

You’ll need some lollipop sticks for this recipe. We found some interesting yellow serving sticks that worked well at dinner, but if worse comes to worst you can use cocktail sticks.

No-Bake Energy Bites

These superfood-filled, protein-packed, chocolate-and-espresso–covered bites are perfect for a pre-workout boost or mid-day recharge.

Frozen Yogurt Bark

Just the right mix of crisp, creamy, and slightly sweet, this frozen treat is exactly what we want to snack on all summer long.

Farro and Broccoli Salad

Our new favorite grain salad is packed with crunchy raw veggies, salty Pecorino, lively mint, and fresh chile peppers.

Aviation

Maraschino liqueur sounds obscure but it's often hiding in plain sight. Seek it for this simple, classic cocktail.

Beer Americano

Replacing soda water with a beer float makes for a frothy, refreshing twist on the Americano, a classic Italian cocktail.

Emerald Isle

Created to incorporate the seasonally grown herbs from our rooftop garden, this unique cocktail is one of my summertime favorites. The pot still Irish gin has a soft and floral profile, so if you’re unable to procure it, I would go with one of the recently released lower-alcohol gins of your choice, steering clear of juniper-heavy renditions. The ingredients complement each other so well, you can’t help but taste something distinctive and different in every sip. It’s a must-try.
