Summer is a time of relaxation and having fun! Sometimes during summer, people can get bored or just want to find something different to do with their friends or family. Creating fun summer recipes is a great way to escape from the rote routine summer can become. Here are five summer recipes to create this summer:
- Popsicles!
- There are many ways to create popsicles (or other frozen treats) but an easy way is to puree fruit in a blender and pour the mixture into either a popsicle mold or a muffin tin.
- Summer Salad!
- Summer salads are open to interpretation. A common one is created with chunks of cucumber, tomato, feta, and fresh fruit. Add basil for a twist!
- Grilled Corn on the Cob!
- Corn on the Cob is a traditional staple of summer cuisine. To add even more flavor to this traditional dish, char corn on a grill and add butter and Old Bay to it.
- Parfaits!
- Layer Greek yogurt, fruit, and granola to create a fresh dish. To add extra flavor use flavored Greek yogurt or add vanilla extract to plain Greek yogurt.
- Crostini!
- Slice bread (baguettes are preferable).
- Grill corn and slice off the cob.
- Spread goat cheese on the bread.
- Cut up tomatoes (and any other additives).
- Top bread with corn, tomato, and garnish!
