Hello Hannah,

Cooking during the summer can often feel like a daunting task. Not only does it get busy, but during the hottest months of the year, most people prefer to stay cool rather than cooped up in an overheated kitchen. Instead of relying on takeout, healthier alternatives can be found in traditional heritage diets.

Global Summer Dishes

The possibilities for no-fuss, but delicious summer meals are endless, especially if you stock your pantry with ready-to-go ingredients and fresh seasonal produce. Here are a few ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner from heritage diets around the world.

Peanut Hummus

This creamy hummus can be used as a dip or spread for any number of Mediterranean meals. A spoonful of peanut butter blended throughout adds richness to this elegant, simple recipe.

Fiesta Quinoa Salad

This colorful salad looks beautiful presented on a bed of leafy baby greens, but we also enjoy scooping it with whole grain tortilla chips.

Vietnamese Spring Rolls

Our rolls are ﬁlled with fruits and vegetables, but it is not uncommon to add shrimp inside the roll as well. Serve with a dipping sauce such as Nuoc Cham or a Peanut Sauce.
