Although school may be starting, summer still isn’t over! That means the CSA boxes are still filled with vibrant colors, fresh herbs, and an abundance of vegetables just waiting to become something delicious.
But then comes the big question: “What am I going to do with all of this?”
As a chef, I believe the best summer meals don’t have to be complicated. Start with what you have, cook it well, add a few good ingredients, and let those fresh vegetables shine. 🌿
A few of my favorite ways to leverage a summer harvest:
🍅 Rustic Ratatouille — sauté your seasonal vegetables with fresh herbs.
🥒 Summer Salads — turn zucchini, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, and greens into a simple, colorful salad.
🧀 Vegetable Lasagna — layer roasted or sautéed vegetables with ricotta, Parmesan, and plenty of comfort.
