I’ve got three fun ways to savor summer — from sweet to savory and everything in between.
First up, frozen chocolate-covered pineapple rings, which taste like chocolaty piña colada treats and deliver major vacation vibes. Next, my peach and tomato caprese salad is a juicy platter of deliciousness that celebrates summer’s freshest produce. And finally, meet your new snack-time BFFs: Greek yogurt dip cups, two ways — one savory with lemon and dill, the other sweet with cinnamon and vanilla.
Frozen Chocolate-Covered Pineapple Rings
These piña colada-inspired treats are the ultimate hot-weather hack. Juicy pineapple rings are topped with rich, melted chocolate, sprinkled with shredded coconut and frozen to frosty perfection. They’re irresistibly cool and guaranteed to disappear fast (a bit of advice — make a double batch!). And for the adults in the room, you can even soak the pineapple rings in rum before freezing for full lounge-chair-on-the-beach energy.
Peach & Tomato Caprese Salad
This fresh summer platter is a seasonal twist on the classic caprese — sweet peaches, juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and fragrant basil come together for a dish that’s as gorgeous as it is scrumptious. A drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette or glaze ties it all together. No cooking, just slicing — and it’s light, bright and backyard-bash ready.
Snack time just took a turn — in two delicious directions. These single-serve dips are made right in the yogurt cup, so there’s no mess and no extra dishes. Go savory with a zesty lemon-dill combo (perfect with crisp veggies or crackers), or take the sweet route with a cinnamon-vanilla swirl (a dream with apples, berries or graham crackers). Each cup is protein-packed, totally customizable and so fun to mix and munch.
