Is there anything better than a trip to the farmer’s market in July? The stalls are overflowing with ripe tomatoes, juicy peaches, fresh herbs, and sweet summer berries—and it’s honestly the easiest way to get inspired for what to cook.

​

If your market haul has you wondering what to make, here are a few of my favorite seasonal recipes that let those fresh ingredients shine:

Peach Tomato Burrata Bruschetta – Juicy peaches and ripe tomatoes piled on crusty bread with creamy burrata. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic and you’re set.

Mango Corn Salsa – Sweet, tangy, and perfect for scooping with chips or spooning over grilled chicken or fish.

​

Northwest Summer Berry Salad – Four kinds of fresh summer berries, mixed greens, and hazelnuts tossed with a simple vinaigrette. Light, colorful, and perfect for a hot day.

Mango Cucumber Salad with Avocado and Fresh Mint – Cool, juicy, and refreshing—ideal for summer dinners or a backyard gathering.

Burrata Caprese with Heirloom Tomatoes – A summer classic with an extra-creamy twist. Heirloom cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and burrata—it doesn’t get better.

​

No need to overthink things this time of year—these recipes keep it simple and let all that gorgeous produce speak for itself. Perfect for easy weeknights, casual backyard dinners, or last-minute get-togethers.
