Watermelon Salsa is the salsa of summer: the coolest, the juiciest, the most surprising and refreshing dip for tortilla chips, and a bright and flavorful topping for grilled fish or chicken.

Smoked Salmon Spread is cool and creamy, bursting with the flavors of salty salmon and fresh herbs. Serve it with crackers or crudités, or as a sophisticated spread for sandwiches or bagels.

Homemade restaurant-style salsa is way better than the stuff in the jar – fresh and vibrant, exploding with the flavors of tomatoes, jalapenos, green chiles and lime.

Antipasto – an abundant and colorful spread of cured meats, cheeses and vegetables in a garlicky vinaigrette – is a traditional Italian appetizer that also makes a fun and casual main dish.

Salad doesn’t have to start with lettuce. This surprising salad showcases juicy, crunchy celery, paired with salty almonds, sweet dates, and creamy Parmesan in a bright and lemony dressing.

This easy, no-bake Pumpkin Spice Icebox Cake has lighter-than-air layers of fluffy pumpkin mousse spiced with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove, smothered with whipped cream and scattered with shards of chocolate-covered toffee.

Gorgeous, healthy, and ridiculously easy to make, this avocado and berry salad with homemade raspberry vinaigrette is the perfect summer side.

Don’t save this chunky/creamy, tangy Pimiento Cheese for Kentucky Derby day; it’s good any day of the year.
