I first made this heirloom tomato pesto salad with sourdough croutons when I found myself with an excess of fresh basil in my kitchen (not a bad problem to have!), so I decided to make a basil inspired feast and put the herb to great use. Since I love a good recipe that doesn’t try to hard, this recipe is exactly that.

This grilled peach and burrata salad is a beautiful way to incorporate the flavors of summer in a fresh and delicious salad. The succulence of the peaches, slightly charred and blistered on the exterior flesh works beautifully with the creaminess of the burrata and the gorgeous, caramelized pecans.

This dish is pure simplicity and drama — a cloud of burrata surrounded by jewel-toned fruit, bright sumac, and glossy pomegranate glaze. A sweet, tangy, effortless showstopper made to brighten any table.

This courgette and Pecorino Romano salad is light, bright, and wonderfully simple — thin ribbons of courgette tossed with lemon, olive oil, and salty shavings of cheese. Crisp, refreshing, and ready in minutes.

This beetroot salad is everything I love in a summer dish — vibrant, textured, and just a little decadent. Warm roasted beets, fresh figs, pistachio-crusted goat cheese, and a silky maple–orange vinaigrette come together in a way that feels effortless. Perfect for an elegant lunch or your next dinner party.

This kale sweet potato salad brings together roasted sweetness, crisp greens, and a creamy maple tahini dressing that clings to every leaf. It’s hearty, bright, and full of texture — the kind of dish that satisfies as a main or shines at the center of a shared table.

This whole roasted cauliflower is rubbed with warm spices, roasted until beautifully charred, and served over a cool, creamy tahini yogurt sauce. It’s fragrant and hearty — the kind of dish that invites everyone to gather around the table.

Crisp filo, warm feta, and a glossy muscat glaze come together in this Greek mezze that’s all about contrast. Flaky, sticky, salty, and sweet — a little island indulgence you can recreate at home.
