Any favorite summer recipes?

I'm looking for new ways to take advantage of all the local produce for the several months that we can grow our own up here.

Make a tasty pesto (pine nuts optional) sauce to top the pasta of your choice

2 cups fresh basil leaves 2 tablespoons pine nuts (or walnuts) 2 large cloves garlic ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan Lime juice to taste
Jerusalem salad: At it's core, it's diced tomato, cucumber, and red onion tossed with a dressing of tahini, crushed garlic, and lemon juice (thinned with water). All good so far, but you can also add apple, watermelon rind, zucchini and summer squash, raw tender asparagus, or even various torn greens and herbs (mint is particularly nice, but I also like collards).
- I am so going to try this - thank you!
