Perfect dish for hot summer days when you don’t feel like cooking! You can eat it while the pasta is still slightly warm or chill it in the fridge and enjoy cold. Either way, this dish is quick, easy and everyone is a fan!

Tuscan flavors shine brightly here, thanks to sun-dried tomatoes, olives, peppers, and spinach. A generous amount of freshly grated Parmesan cheese is a must.

Mexican Street Corn Salad (Esquites)

This Mexican Street Corn Salad also called Esquites, is one of my favorite summer side dishes! Simple, fresh ingredients create a very tasty dish for your Cinco de Mayo celebrations but also summer picnics and BBQs!

This beautiful and delicious corn salad is a deconstructed version of the Elotes, a Mexican dish of grilled corn on the cob. I will be honest and say, I prefer this version! Corn on the cob can be messy and my toppings always fall off so this salad is my perfect solution to enjoy the wonderful flavors of corn, cotija cheese, jalapeno and lime!

If you happen to have an abundance of carrots, I have just the recipe for you! A fresh carrot salad with green onions and raisins for sweetness. A beautiful and healthy dish that will complement sandwiches, grilled meat, etc.

The old-fashioned carrot salad version is creamy thanks to mayonnaise. I went the French route and tossed it with a very simple vinaigrette made with oil, lemon juice and honey. I’ll keep the mayo for potato salads!
