Salad

Clementines are such a great base to petite salads for one! All you have to do is peel them, and cut them into rounds with a very sharp knife. Then, you an add herbs like mint, other fruits like pomegranate seeds, and toss with salad greens or leave as they are and drizzle over olive oil!

Granita

If you’re in the mood for something cool and refreshing, this is the dessert for you! A granita is basically like a shaved ice, and it’s so delicious and easy to make.

Just juice about 24 clementines until you get 2 cups worth of juice. In a saucepan, boil 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 inch of ginger together until the sugar dissolves. Let it steep for 30 minutes off the heat, and then throw away the ginger. Add in the juice as well as 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Put it into a shallow dish, freeze for 3 hours, and then scrape it with a fork. Serve and enjoy this icy treat!

Corn

Corn is one of the most classic summertime foods, because summer is when corn is in season! Load up on as many ears as you can this summer and enjoy the juicy, sweet kernels of joy that come from corn. Try a grilled corn salsa with fresh tomatoes, red onions, and spicy jalapenos, and your picnic basket will come alive with flavor.

Cucumber

Although we find this in the grocery store all year round, the time for cucumber to shine is actually right at the beginning of summer. Pick up cucumbers from your local market and make them into delicious quick pickles, slice them into thick strips to dunk into hummus, or thinly and rolled up into homemade sushi!

Tomatoes

Tomatoes will grow all summer long, and when you have your first bite of a fresh one, you will feel so sad for all the tomatoes you bought during the winter. One of the best ways to use tomatoes this summer is to make your own sauce out of them and save it for the winter time, when all that is left is yucky, probably GMO, ‘maters.
