There are two things you want from summer dinner recipes: You want them to take advantage of the season's best produce, and they should keep you out of the heat of the kitchen. We've got 6 recipes that pretty much do both...
• Tilapia and Summer Vegetable Packets: Wrapping vegetables and fish in a foil packet for grilling or baking is a foolproof way to get moist, tender results. Tilapia and summer vegetables pair with olives and capers for a Mediterranean flair.
• Couscous with Grilled Vegetables: It doesn't get easier than this -- this simple and easy summer dish of grilled vegetables is served with quick-cooking couscous, but also tastes great over pasta.
• Zucchini and Chicken Kabobs: Zucchini is everywhere in the summer; paired with chicken, you've got a meal on a stick!
• Swordfish with Olive Tapenade: Store-bought tapenade gives mild, meaty swordfish a needed flavor boost, and serving it with a spinach and tomato salad keeps things cool.
• Grilled Corn with Sundried Tomato Bacon Butter: Sweet corn takes an almost savory flavor when rubbed with a butter mixture containing bacon and sundried tomatoes -- this is corn like you've never tasted it!
• Check out our grilling section for menus, articles, and more recipes.
• Watch our Kitchen Basics videos for lots of handy grilling tips.
