   This Smashed Cucumber Avocado Salad Brings Bright Crunch (opens the original)

   Excerpt · Positive tone · English

   Read excerpt

   I love this recipe because it's a no-cook, high-contrast salad built for peak summer produce. It's got cracked cucumber, creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, sharp pickled onion and big torn herbs all in one bowl. Leaving the basil, mint and parsley whole instead of chopping keeps every bite bright and fragrant. Technique tips: Smash the cucumbers instead of slicing them. The cracked, ragged surfaces soak up the vinaigrette far better than a clean-cut edge. Salting and draining them briefly afterward

   Serve Grilled Summer Squash With Goat Cheese and Pine Nuts for a Summery Side (opens the original)

   Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

   Read excerpt

   I love this recipe because it's peak summer produce in one dish. You get a smoky char from the grill, bright acid from the lemon vinaigrette, gentle heat from fresh chiles and creamy, tangy goat cheese, all balanced by the crunch of toasted pine nuts. It comes together in under 30 minutes and works as a substantial side or a light vegetarian main. Technique tip: Grill the squash cut-side down first to build good char and caramelization before flipping and pull it while it still has a little bite
