Two easy bruschetta recipes showcase ripe summer tomatoes and basil: one combines toasted sourdough with pesto, ricotta, arugula and prosciutto, while the other uses toasted baguette topped with seasoned tomatoes, basil and balsamic glaze. The recipes also offer flexible bread and preparation options for casual lunches or summer entertaining.

A Greek-style Mediterranean potato salad is presented as a colourful summer alternative to traditional potato salad. The recipe combines potatoes, vegetables, Kalamata olives, feta, lemon, oregano and olive oil, with optional grilled halloumi or chicken to make it more substantial and tahini for a creamier dressing.
