As the summer season begins to wind down, it’s time to savor the flavors that are best enjoyed during these warm months. Today, we’re talking about three seasonal veggies you should be bringing to your table before the autumn chill sets in. Ready? It’s a taste of the sun in every bite.
Zucchini
Zucchini is incredibly versatile and at its best in the late summer. Whether grilled, roasted, or spiralized, this vegetable is a wonderful addition to any meal. Try making zucchini fritters, adding it to pasta dishes, or stuffing it with a flavorful mixture of cheese, herbs, and other veggies.
Corn
Sweet corn is a quintessential summer vegetable, perfect for grilling, boiling, or incorporating into salads and salsas. Enjoy it off the cob in a fresh corn salad with tomatoes, cucumber, and a lime vinaigrette. Or try grilling whole cobs to serve with butter and a sprinkle of salt.
Tomatoes
Nothing compares to the taste of fresh, ripe tomatoes in the summer. From juicy cherry tomatoes to hearty beefsteaks, each variety offers something special. Make a classic Caprese salad with fresh mozzarella and basil, or cook down into a rich, flavorful tomato sauce that can be frozen and enjoyed later.
