Our Favorite Summer Recipes of 2022
Summer Recipe Round-Up!
Today’s blog post highlights our favorite recipes of the summer 2022. The long, warm days of summer might be officially over, but we can still take advantage of the late season produce in abundance at the Farmer’s Market – zucchini, summer squashes, tomatoes, peppers, corn, watermelon and (the one we will be most sad to see go) - THE PEACHES!
These are some of our all-time favorites and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
1. Minty Watermelon and Cucumber Salad (pictured above)
Biting into a slice of sweet, juicy watermelon is one of the most satisfying feelings you can experience on a hot summer day. This Minty Watermelon and Cucumber Salad recipe is proof that watermelon is a versatile, superstar ingredient in the kitchen. The sweetness pairs perfectly with salty ingredients like feta and pepitas and it brings health benefits and beauty to the table!
2. Summertime Tomato Basil Soup
This Summertime Tomato Basil Soup is the best meal for transitioning into those slightly cooler evenings at the end of summer. We used a variety of tomatoes from our local Farmer’s Market to make it.
3. Orzo With Summer Grilled Vegetables
This Orzo Pasta Salad recipe with grilled vegetables is a beautiful, make-ahead summer dish. It’s one of our go-to vegetarian or vegan recipes for BBQ’s and casual dinner parties. The flavors are light, bright and delicious
This Vegan Margherita Pizza is so much fun to make! A crisp (pre-made!) pizza crust is topped with roasted garlic, tomatoes, homemade cashew mozzarella, a dash of sweet balsamic, and lots of fresh basil. This pizza comes together in a little over 30 minutes and makes for an easy and quick weeknight meal.
A fresh corn salad makes the perfect summer dish for picnics, potlucks, or a BBQ. When cooking for a crowd, we love a dish that can be made entirely ahead of time. Make it in advance, refrigerate it in an airtight container, and let the flavors meld with each other while it sits.
It's no secret that we love healthy snacks and appetizers at Tuesday Foods. When we think of healthy snack food, the first things that come to mind are our delicious (can we say famous?) dips and spreads. Try these sensational summer dips - from our refreshing vegan tztaziki to our light and bright green pea guacamole.
At Tuesday Foods - we are salad lovers through and through, and that includes fruit salad. This colorful fruit salad is so refreshing. We love that fruit salads are so healthy and easy to put together — all you have to do is chop the fruit and mix! Plus, the possibilities are endless. Whatever fresh fruit you have on hand will work.
8. Key Lime Pie
When we think about fruit filled desserts of the seasons… strawberry rhubarb pie mid summer, colorful cobblers in the fall, perfect pumpkin all winter long, and in early spring… Key Lime Pie! The silky texture, perfect pale hue, zesty lime, and energizing taste of sunshine make this classic top our list of favorite treats (ever).
This Summer Stone Fruit Crisp features lightly sweetened peaches, plums, and raspberries topped with a super fueled oat and hemp seed crumble topping. Gluten-free, vegan and refined sugar free - this dessert showcases the best bounty of summer!
10. Picnic Perfect Broccoli Salad
Super easy and no mayo required to make our vegan-ized version of the classic broccoli salad. Perfect for summer time picnics - This Vegan Broccoli Salad takes only a few minutes to make and is a crowd pleaser!
