Recipes for Summer Vegetables

Every season is special in its own way, and each has its own offerings of fresh produce. In this day and age, we can get most foods all year long. But seasonal produce is usually tastier and less expensive. That seems especially true of summer vegetables. For example, there is no comparison between tomatoes in winter and those from your own garden or local farmers. Therefore, I have chosen vegetables that are available in summer and listed some of my favorite recipes for utilizing the produce in main dishes, side dishes and other presentations in which they are the main or key ingredient. Most of the recipes are quick, easy and very healthy. Although there are other types of summer vegetables, what I chose are the most popular and very easy to find. The 'Mixed Vegetables' category lists recipes that highlight two or more of the featured items. This page does not include all of the recipes posted on Teri's Kitchen that include summer vegetables.
