In summer, we eat a lot of fruits and vegetables bought on the market or, for the lucky ones, harvested in the vegetable patch. As it is hot, we have a little less appetite and we do not necessarily want to spend hours in the kitchen, so we prefer entrees, light dishes and quick to prepare. Here are some easy summer recipe ideas to change from the eternal pasta or rice salad!

Cold soups and veloutés

Cream of pea or asparagus soup, tomato or beetroot gazpacho, nettle and mint soup, courgette and garlic cheese soup,… cold soup or cream soup, in addition to cooling and hydrating, is a healthy and slimming recipe. The possibilities are endless, you just have to spice up the soup or the velouté with some aromatic herbs (coriander, mint, basil, chives, etc.), spices and a drizzle of olive oil. The more gourmet can add stracciatella, crème fraîche, whipped cream with fresh cheese or mascarpone.

For a refreshing starter, opt for soup or cold soup

The sandwich cake

The sandwich cake is a savory cake super simple to make and very beautiful to present on a summer table or the tablecloth of the picnic. Once you cut the salted cake, you see all the layers that make it up, we spread the Swedish buns with fresh cheese, mixed with fromage blanc, garlic and chives, we add the salmon, a few slices of cucumber and voila! Convenient when there are many of you and you want to have a meal, a picnic or a brunch without worrying!

Plancha or barbecue vegetables

Who says plancha or barbecue does not necessarily mean meat and fish! You can also grill vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil on the plancha or directly on the barbecue. Zucchini, peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, ... cut into slices, cubes, or in half, presented on skewers, grilled vegetables go perfectly with meat or fish. Prepared on the balcony, the terrace or the summer kitchen, cooking on the plancha or on the barbecue is very convivial since you can share an aperitif with your guests.
