Arugula Pesto
Arugula has a spicy bite, and makes a delicious pesto. Whether you’re getting wild rocket from the farmers’ market or a bag of pre-washed arugula from the grocery store, this pesto is a quick and tasty one to whip up on the fly.

We love how the peppery greens, briny olives, toasted nuts and creamy cheese contrast with the sweet melon. To make these even easier, as leftover grilled melon sits in the fridge, it releases delicious juice that provides the “dressing” to lightly coat the greens. This is great with our Grilled Garlic Bread.
Aside from being a simple, tasty lunch or dinner, these little tacos are pretty little things too. Also feel free to tuck any other leftovers in there you like.
This simple treatment highlights the natural sweetness of summer-fresh watermelon. Serve it on its own with toothpicks as a cool appetizer (terrific with chilled rosé), as side dish (it’s especially good with poultry) or tossed in a salad. You can even serve it as the star attraction with cubed fresh mozzarella and basil in a spin on caprese salad. A mini personal-size seedless watermelon is just right to make this recipe.
File this recipe under delicious aromatherapy, because your house will smell amazing as the onions roast. These flavorful onions are amazing atop pizza, chopped and added to cooked whole grains, and in our Rustic Roasted Onion & Spinach Tart. Be sure to use more mature spring onions with big bulbs at the end.
This soup is a whole lot of flavor—and comfort—in a very short time, when you’ve got cooked chicken on hand. Shiitake mushrooms are great in this, but use any variety you like.
This simple side dish adds Asian flair to any meal. These sugar snaps are delicious hot out of the pan or at room temperature for lunch the next day. Mirin is a sweet wine made from glutinous rice that’s a staple of Japanese cooking.
Use any combo of wild spring mushrooms you find for this simple saute—porcini, shiitake, oyster, morel, hedgehog, etc. Or add creminis (brown mushrooms) to the mix.
This southeast Mexican spin on tortilla soup is warm and comforting with a brothy consistency and bright citrusy notes that hint at sunny days.
We like to think of this as the warm-weather version of our popular Spring Vegetable Roast or Winter Ratatouille. Use any combo of veggies you like—you’ll need a total of about 2 pounds. These are delicious on their own or drizzled with Rustic Summer Herb Pesto. (A grill basket is one of our favorite summertime pieces of equipment.)
