Summer is here! unofficially, at least, which means bright, light meals and plenty of fresh produce to enjoy over the coming months.
With warmer days ahead, now is the perfect time to plan a week of simple, flavorful dishes that celebrate seasonal ingredients.
What To Eat This Week
Start the week with a refreshing rotisserie chicken summer salad — a quick, satisfying option that’s perfect for hot afternoons. It’s easy to assemble and full of bright flavors.
For Taco Tuesday, switch things up with cheeseburger tostadas. They combine the familiar flavors of a burger with the crunch of a tostada for a fun, casual dinner.
Midweek, try falafel burgers — a flavorful vegetarian option that’s excellent served on a bun or atop a salad. They’re hearty, well-seasoned, and versatile.
For a weekend barbecue, spatchcock BBQ chicken is a standout: juicy, charred, and easy to share. Pair it with a crunchy broccoli slaw for a crisp, refreshing counterpoint.
Grilled veggie naan pizzas make for a relaxed, build-your-own dinner. Roast or grill seasonal vegetables, place them on naan, and finish with a bright chimichurri or herb sauce for extra flavor.
Grilled chicken Caesar sandwiches are a great weekend treat — smoky grilled chicken, crisp romaine, and tangy dressing tucked into a toasted roll for an indulgent, easy meal.
Make a batch of chickpea tortellini salad to have on hand for lunches. It’s filling, travels well, and holds up throughout the week—ideal for meal prep.
Finish the week with granola scones for breakfast. Bake a batch ahead of time so you have a grab-and-go option that’s wholesome and comforting on busy mornings.
Whatever you choose, aim for simple preparations, bold seasoning, and seasonal produce to make the most of early summer flavors.
