Pesto Potato Salad
When another BBQ with traditional potato salad just wont do, I like to turn to this mayo-free recipe that uses a versatile basil pesto to that is great as a side dish during the summer. Or preserve summer basil and enjoy it year-round to recreate those warm-season memories.
Buttermilk-brined Grilled Chicken
I love when a simple recipe becomes a go-to recipe for any season of the year. From the pages of The Sunset Cookbook - a massive array of many years of recipes produced in Sunset Magazine - this foundation for buttermilk-brined chicken can be altered to use the best of each season. Sometimes I add lemon zest and very woody herbs, other times more summer flavors like basil, dill, and fennel. IT really depends upon the meal - and what's growing well in the garden.
Summer Corn, Sweet Pepper + Peach Salad
We love this blend of fresh summer corn, colorful sweet peppers, and ripe peaches paired with spicy arugula greens and our go-to lemon basil vinaigrette. We love the sweet and bitter pairing that brings all the best of the summer season together in one healthy dish. This salad is delightful for lunch or as a side dish for grilled fish or an HP team favorite, buttermilk-brined grilled chicken.
Summer Tomato Crostini
Summer tomato crostini are an easy and delicious appetizer or side dish full of herby flavors and sweet, colorful tomatoes.
