Sometimes you get tired of eating the same salads packed with lettuce or other fresh greens. Don’t fret. Here's the perfect chicken salad recipe that is packed with flavor and no lettuce required.

Beyond tomatoes for crisp salads and blackberries for desserts and jams, there is one farmers market underdog that you musn't forget before summer fades to fall: green beans.

This is a summer salad that you can put your own signature on. To drink? How about a chilled glass of California rose or chardonnay?

Fresh mint appears twice here: finely chopped mint in the dressing and whole mint leaves in the strawberry chicken salad, tossed with tender greens.

A frosty lemon slushy is quintessential beach fare, but you don’t have to head to the boardwalk to enjoy one. 

It's time to give vegetables the spotlight on the grill this summer. 

This kid-friendly recipe is healthy and hearty, and it will taste even better in the summer thanks to the super fresh vegetables used. 

I went to a friend’s house for dinner recently, and one of the side dishes she made was marinated and grilled leeks. Her recipe was so simple: Toss halved leeks in olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder and freshly cracked black pepper, and grill until tender and sweet.

A frittata is nothing more than an egg pizza. This version, which has leeks, asparagus and corn tucked inside, is topped with sun-dried tomatoes or cherry tomatoes.

This satisfying salad takes just 20 minutes to make, so it’s perfect for weeknight dinners, but it’s elegant enough to serve to guests.
