Happy Friday and weekend! For those of you who are new to We Ate Well, and for those that might have missed a few posts - here is a roundup of my new recipes and features this summer. Summer produce is mostly still around, so try these if you haven’t yet!
Salads and produce-forward things
Cucumber salad two ways - an Indian and Asian-inspired version
Watermelon and Feta salad - watermelons are super-sweet right now and will go perfectly with tangy feta
Greek Salad - a classic ( I have a seasonal variation coming up in the fall)
Greek Yogurt Raita - a simple swap gets you twice the protein
Chili Cheese Okra Poppers - jalapenos are forever ruined for me
Tomato Confit - hurry up and make this before local tomatoes disappear
The Zucchini Bread Series
Vegan Zucchini Bread - a favorite from my cookbook
Chili Cheese Toast - using the zucchini bread
Panzanella - a rustic Tuscan salad using the zucchini bread
Dessert: for that freak 80 degree day in October
