No-Cook

In summer, raw corn kernels add crunch and sweetness to any salad and can be enjoyed freshly sliced, right off the cob.

This creamy, dreamy icebox cake—built in a bowl for maximum ease—is the no-bake dessert you'll be making all summer.

Spicy Kimchi Slaw

We traded the goopy sweet mayo dressing in your typical cabbage slaw for a whipped, airy kimchi dressing. Cabbage two ways! If you prefer something less spicy, replace the kimchi juice with water.

Strawberry and Watercress Salad

We paired peppery watercress with bright rhubarb and sweet berries in this go-to spring salad.

Grand Aioli

Let this recipe be the excuse you need to dip all your farm-fresh foods into garlicky mayonnaise.

Sweet-and-Spicy Slaw

An oil-and-vinegar dressing keeps this slaw from feeling heavy and greasy, and the spiciness is a good counterpart to sweet notes in barbecue sauces and glazes.

Chicken Salad With Apricots, Celery, and Blue Cheese

This summer salad brims with sweet, creamy, and sharp flavors—and tender, crunchy, and juicy textures. Make sure to use peak-season apricots and a fairly mild blue cheese that won’t overwhelm the mix.

Peach Caprese

When summer is at its height and the peaches are so ripe that you can smell their sweet aroma just by walking by, it's time for this bright salad.

Italian Sundaes with Nutella

As a dessert, fior di latte refers to gelato made without egg yolks so that the pure flavor of the sweet cream can shine. If you have a gelateria in your neighborhood, get a couple of pints to go. If not, use vanilla ice cream and your imagination.

Sugar Snap Pea Salad

Come springtime, sugar snap peas are so tender and fresh it's almost a shame to cook them. We prefer slicing them thinly and eating them raw with a simple dressing, like this creamy, tangy buttermilk one.

Arugula with Italian Plums and Parmesan

For the best play between sweet, hot, and salty ingredients, look for spiky arugula, labeled "rocket" or "rucola," at the farmers' market. It's much more peppery and sturdy than what you’ll find at the supermarket.

Tiramisù with Amaretti Cookies

The crunchy almond cookies replace soft smushy ladyfingers for a welcome twist on the classic dessert.

Sea Bream Crudo with Lemon and Olives

Sea bream, common in the Mediterranean, has lean flesh with a light, delicate flavor. If you can’t find it, porgy or snapper are suitable subs.
