Best of the Farmer’s Market Menu
When I think about summer, I think of bright colors and bold flavors. I think of long, warm days spending time outdoors leading in to cool nights and having dinner in the backyard under the stars. I believe this menu captures the essence of summer. The bright colors are captured in the vegetables, the orzo salad and the stunning colors of the fresh berries. There is nothing better than lighting up the grill, whether it is gas or charcoal. It’s a center gathering spot for family and friends. This is one of my student’s favorite menus. These easy-to-prepare summertime recipes are waiting for you after you return from a day out in the sun, and are fun to share with their friends and family. I love to make it all summertime. I hope you will too!
So, what are we cooking?
These long, skinny, crunchy, herby, and cheesy breadsticks are positively addictive! They are the perfect for your aperitivo and pair very well with a cool and refreshing Aperol Spritz, one of my favorite summertime cocktails, very elegantly served in a stem glass with lots of ice. Together, they are perfect for sitting on the patio and enjoying the colorful sunset. I like to make my cocktail 1 part Aperol liqueur, 2 parts prosecco or sparkling wine, and a splash of soda.
