    Watermelon, Arugula, and Pine Nut Salad

    While the ingredients for this sweet, salty, and savory salad can all be prepped ahead, the greens should be tossed through just before serving so they stay bright and crisp.

    Grilled Rosemary Lamb with Juicy Tomatoes

    Lamb shoulder: not just for braising! For this grilled lamb recipe, separating the shoulder into a few smaller-size pieces before marinating makes it less unwieldy on the grill and allows you to monitor the internal temperature more easily.

    Red Potato and Shishito Pepper Hash

    Go hard on those potatoes and let them get good and browned before tossing them in the pan. That way they’ll keep their crunch after being doused with the spicy mayonnaise.
