Salad

Watermelon and prosciutto may seem like an unlikely pair, but the salty-sweet mix will make this your new go-to fruit salad.

The key to this showstopping salad? Ice cold water. Seriously! It helps cucumber, radishes, and scallions deliver incredible crunch and highlight their flavors.

Once you get hooked on fresh chiles, you'll want to pack them into everything you cook—including your antipasto.

One in ten Padróns or shishitos is actually spicy. Pepper roulette!

Because would it really be a barbecue without grilled corn?

Literally grilled cheese. We love the squeaky texture and salty bite. It goes perfectly with our Grilled Brined Vegetables.
