Bets for a Delicious Summer Meal
 • Spice up farm-fresh produce. Drizzle
vinaigrette dressing over a delicious spread of home-grown or
farmer’s market avocados and tomatoes for an elegant summer
appetizer. And for a thirst-quenching twist, incorporate cantaloupe
and honeydew into summer pasta salads for refreshing flavor and
fun!

 • It’s never too hot to fire
up the grill. Dress up the grill with robust veggies like eggplant,
asparagus and corn, and you’ll have a tasty summer side
in minutes. For grill-iscious finger foods, thread chicken kebabs
with zucchini, bell peppers and mushrooms. A little hint: try
using a delicious pesto marinade for added flavor and color.
