Five Recipes To Celebrate Summer

Published 4 months ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader,

The season of road trips, backyard hangs, and long golden evenings is officially here—and we’re ready to celebrate the best way we know how: with good food.

We've pulled together a handful of fresh, seasonal recipes that highlight summer favorites, including berries, cucumbers, avocados, zucchini, and crisp lettuce. These dishes are perfect for anything from a weekend picnic to a laid-back dinner party.

Here’s what we’re making:uss:

Blended Mint Lemonade

A refreshing, not-too-sweet sip that’s basically summer in a glass.

Blackberry Bramble Cocktail

This bold berry cocktail feels fancy but couldn’t be easier to shake up.

Chilled Cucumber Avocado Raita Soup

Cool, creamy, and packed with flavor—just the thing for a hot day.

Butter Lettuce Salad With Shallot Vinaigrette

Simple, crisp, and perfectly dressed—this salad is a forever fave.

Cocoa Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa

Sweet, smoky, and made for the grill—this main dish steals the show.

P.S. - If this long weekend has you dreaming about summer road trips, we’re here to help plan — be it the California coast, national parks, wine country, or beyond.

Cheers! Aida, Kristen, and Team Salt & Wind Travel
