This is an especially flavorful dish that’s perfect for the end of summer when the evenings are beginning to cool but you’re still swimming in summer produce. At first glance it may seem that there are a lot of components. However the timing for all of them flows really well, so as soon as you finish one, you move on to the next, and they all end up being ready within the same window. The polenta will need to be stirred periodically throughout the prep time, but otherwise each task is pretty self contained.

Corn and Zucchini Pizza with Lime and Cilantro
This pizza has long been a favorite of ours, making several appearances every summer. The toppings, although they may seem unusual for a pizza, are so good together. Don’t forget to serve the pizza with the lime wedges – the fresh lime juice really brings it all together.

Corn and Zucchini Galette
This recipe is great for early summer, before any tomatoes have arrived at the markets! The flaky pastry dough is rich and this galette is best served alongside a fresh salad.
If you already have the dough made (and I would recommend always making one or two extra because they freeze beautifully), then this requires very little hands-on time. I love to make galettes when having people over for dinner – all the work can be done well before anyone arrives.

Roasted Summer Veg and Potato Herb Salad
This herb and vegetable focused potato salad is a great addition to the summer table. I like to combine everything when the potatoes are hot, so that the goat cheese gets a little melty and coats everything. It makes for a slightly messier appearance, but a more balanced bite. I like the tang that the goat cheese adds but you could also use feta or leave the cheese out altogether. The dish will still come together just as well if the ingredients are at room temperature. This salad is delicious cold, making it a great dish to make up ahead of time or to share with friends at a BBQ. Either way, this is a dish best served outside. Enjoy!
