Zucchini Scampi
This veggie-packed twist on scampi makes zucchini and summer squash the star of the plate instead of shrimp. We love the mix of squash, but you can use one or the other if you prefer. White wine provides needed acidity and balances well with the aromatic garlic and rich butter to create a luxurious sauce. Charring the lemon is a simple step, but adds complex tart and smoky flavors to this easy side.

08of 20Taiwanese Cucumber SaladPhotographer: Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop stylist: Addelyn EvansThis cucumber salad is so simple, it hardly needs a recipe. Persian cucumbers are the perfect texture for this salad and are often less bitter than other varieties. Salting the cucumbers pulls out the excess water, so don’t be tempted to skip this step or you’ll end up with a pool of liquid. We enjoy eating this salad right away, but you can also refrigerate it for up to 4 hours, if desired.View Recipe

19of 20The Creamiest Egg Salad SandwichPhotographer: Hannah Hufham, Food Stylist: Amanda Stanfield, Prop Stylist: Tucker VinesThe egg salad in this sandwich gets its creamy texture from finely grating the eggs, which blends the whites and yolks together so you get a bit of both in each bite. A microplane grater is the best tool to use to get that perfect, uniform texture, but a fine-mesh sieve will work well too. We top the egg salad with a little bit of Parmesan cheese and toast the sandwiches in a skillet with a little butter to make this creamy sandwich extra special.View Recipe
