Grain Salad With Olives and Whole-Lemon Vinaigrette
Look for Castelvetrano olives for this salad recipe; their buttery flesh and mild flavor will convert the most olive-averse.
Aperol-Kombucha Cocktail
Think of this cocktail recipe as a more boozy, more delicious, and just as pretty Aperol spritz.
Marinated Anchovies with Bread and Butter
For a simple, just-the-right-amount-of-salty appetizer, doctor up a tin of anchovies. The acid, heat, and olive oil mellow the anchovies’ flavor, and serving them with a seedy loaf of bread and butter rounds the recipe.

Fennel-Rubbed Leg of Lamb with Salsa Verde
If you want to stuff the roast as pictured, ask your butcher for a butterflied leg, not tied. Double the ingredients for the rub recipe and smear half onto lamb, then roll and tie it, and smear with the rest of the rub before roasting.

Radicchio with Tahini and Sesame Seeds
This tahini dressing recipe goes especially well with bitter greens but can also be paired with sweeter lettuces such as Little Gem or romaine.
Watercress Salad with Radishes, Apples, and Lemon
We highly recommend using more than one type of radish for this salad—it really makes a difference in both texture and presentation.
Pineapple and Mezcal Tonic
Mezcal: trending! Like tequila, mezcal is made from the agave plant, but it’s got an inherent smokiness, too. If you haven’t had it before, this cocktail recipe is a great place to start.
Green Goddess Whipped Feta Dip
You can replace some of the cilantro or parsley with other tender herbs—basil, dill, chives. Just make sure to include the tarragon; it gives the dip an anise-y, bittersweet punch.
Tuna Tartare with Sesame, Scallions, and Spicy Mayo
This simple tuna tartare is your entry point for eating raw fish.
Scallop Aguachile
Aguachile, literally meaning chile water, is traditionally made with chiles, cilantro, onion, lime, and, yeah, water.
Salmon Tartare With Herbs, Lemon, and Cucumber
A simple recipe that will make you wonder why you never made raw fish at home before.
Red Snapper Ceviche with Crushed CornNuts
You can use whatever semifirm white fish you like. Not a fan of snapper? Try sea bass or striped bass.
Rhubarb-Almond Cake
Stalks of pretty, pink rhubarb sit astride a tender, chewy-edged almond cake in this stunningly easy spring dessert.
Black Bass with Warm Rosemary-Olive Vinaigrette
This elegant fish dinner comes together in just 15 minutes.
Cornmeal Biscuits with Chorizo Gravy
Spoon warm gravy, crumbled chorizo, and assorted toppings (avocado not optional) over a skillet of piping hot biscuits for a South–meets–Southwest dinner experience.
Chile-Rubbed Turkey
Look to Mexico, where turkey has been the big bird for centuries. Continue the theme by using the leftovers for tacos (corn tortillas, shredded meat, lime…). We promise you won't miss your sandwich.
Pounded Lemongrass Chicken
This aromatic Vietnamese-inspired dish calls for pounding the chicken breasts to a uniform thinness, which eliminates any dryness.
Salted Caramel "Ding Dong" Cake
It may look like a giant lunchbox treat, but an ultra-smooth ganache and a final flourish of crunchy sea salt make this one elegant cake.
