It’s not hard to put together a healthy summer dinner when produce is so spectacular. While it’s easy to get caught up in going out on summer nights, you’ll never regret taking an evening off to prepare a nourishing meal at home. One trip down the produce aisle, and you’ll see the possibilities are endless. Unpack your haul and start cooking—grilled chicken and tomato-cucumber salad tonight, cooling gazpacho for lunch tomorrow, crispy rice with spicy zucchini later. Many of these recipes are low- or no-cook, while others require heating up the grill, stove, or oven. Let the temperature of your kitchen decide how you want to play it.
For some, a dream summer meal is cold noodles twirled from a picnic-ready container in the park. For others, it’s a veggie burger enjoyed from the comfort of their air-conditioned dining room. Rest assured, we’ve got something for everyone’s healthyish vibe in this lineup. These healthy recipes are our song of the summertime, and we’re playing them on repeat straight through Labor Day.
