Four Summer Veggie Recipes Worth Getting Excited About

​

​

Hey Reader,

The farmer’s market is overflowing, and I can’t help bringing home more zucchini, tomatoes, and well EVERYTHING than I had planned. When everything looks that fresh, it’s hard to resist.

I refuse to let anything go to waste, so I’ve been making quick, no-fuss recipes that let those summer veggies shine. These are easy enough to throw together anytime and tasty enough that they disappear in a heartbeat.

Fresh Picks for Summer Cooking

The zucchini makes these Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins extra soft without messing with the rich chocolate flavor. It's a great way to use up that vegetable that so many people dread.

I make Ratatouille with an Italian Flair for my friends all the time, and I love when there are leftovers because this tomato and squash dish is just as good on Day Two. It’s simple but tastes like something you’d get at a little café.

There’s something about the way the vegetables complement quinoa that makes this Tomato Quinoa Salad so good. It's a delicious side dish, but some days when it's too hot to cook, I pull the leftovers from my fridge and enjoy it for my entire meal.

And sometimes, you just need a good salad. I'm not going with iceberg and French dressing like I had growing up. Nope, it's my favorite Avocado Tomato Salad that's cool and refreshing and creamy and just all around delicious.

These easy veggie recipes are proof that simple really is best. Which one are you making first?
