As the days get longer and the nights warmer, there’s nothing quite like embracing the season with a feast of summer recipes. Whether you’re looking for fresh summer dinner ideas, cooling cocktails or vibrant summer salads, our summer recipe collection has everything you need to make your summer gatherings shine.
Fresh and easy summer dinner ideas
Summer is the perfect time to lighten up the menu with dishes that are both simple to prepare and deliciously refreshing. Think grilled meats, vibrant vegetable platters, and fresh fish that tastes like it’s straight from the ocean. From quick-cooking salmon skewers to chicken chopped salads, these dishes are not only packed with flavour but also leave you plenty of time to enjoy those warm summer evenings.
Must-try summer meals for every occasion
Whether you’re planning a laid-back barbecue or a sophisticated dinner party, our selection of summer meals will cater to every taste. Opt for a classic barbecue with summer BBQ essentials like sausages, burgers and chicken kebabs, or go for lighter fare such as grilled vegetables and salmon carpaccio. Each recipe promises to keep things light and tasty, perfect for dining al fresco.
Vibrant summer salads to brighten your table
No summer meal is complete without the bright colours and crisp textures of a fresh salad. Our summer salads range from hearty options like this asparagus, bacon and mozzarella salad, a protein-packed quinoa salad to light accompaniments like a citrusy orange and fennel salad. Beetroot and goat's cheese salad is another favourite on repeat here. These summer salads are fantastic for boosting your intake of fruit and vegetables and are perfect as sides or healthy mains in the sweltering heat. Balsamic Dressing Mix is your hack for tasty dressings in a flash, and Original Salad Topping adds the perfect crunch to any salad.
Refreshing summer cocktails to keep you cool
It’s not summer without the clink of ice in a glass, and our summer cocktails are here to quench your thirst in style. Mix up some excitement with vibrant cocktails and mocktails that feature seasonal fruits, herbs and plenty of ice. Try our blackberry bramble for a fruity twist or Dalgona coffee if you’re off the sauce – one of our favourite ways to use Coffee Kiss.
Get grilling with summer BBQ favourites
Embrace the joy of outdoor cooking with our top picks for summer barbecues. There’s something about cooking over an open flame that says “summer” like nothing else. Our recipes include everything from robust steaks and juicy burgers to marinated vegetables and fish. Try our BBQ Allrounder or Texas BBQ Mix for the perfect spicy meat rub or marinade. Grilling not only enhances flavour but also helps keep your kitchen cool during those hot days.
Making the most of summer flavours
Summer is the season of abundance, with markets brimming with fresh produce, from ripe berries to juicy tomatoes and everything in between. Utilising these ingredients in your cooking not only supports local producers but also adds a burst of flavour and colour to your dishes. Incorporate fresh herbs like basil, mint and coriander for an extra touch of summer. Our tomato puff pastry tart is a great way to use your home-grown tomatoes this summer!
