7 Refreshing recipes for the summer holidays
It’s finally the holidays! You can now spend full days under the warm rays of the sun and, especially, take it easy. But resting can still be hot, so here are some fresh recipes that require little or no cooking and are simple to make.
It may take a few minutes behind the BBQ to grill the fluffy veal patties for these burgers, but you’ll be rewarded when you add the thinly sliced juicy melon. Brush the buns with herb sour cream for an extra touch of freshness.
Don’t feel like spending time at the grocery store during your time off? Take a little trip to the fridge to seek out cold cuts and vegetables to make a sub—or use the bread you have on hand.
A cold dish is welcome when the temperatures rise in peak summer. A ceviche is the height of ease when using scallops for tartare—they just need to marinate in lime juice and olive oil in the fridge for a couple of hours. Serve cold with arugula, avocado, strawberries and orange supremes.
Nordic shrimp, tomato, radishes and beets are found in this original tartare mixed with a creamy sauce made of mayonnaise and dill. And the best part? You’ll only spend 10 minutes preparing it.
This meal-style salad finds all its freshness not only in the mixture of crunchy vegetables, but also in its mint vinaigrette. Add tofu and pieces of grilled pita for a healthy and nourishing dish.
Fancy a little icy treat? Remove fruit from the freezer and blend it with vanilla Greek yogurt and lemon for a quick sorbet. Mango is used in this recipe, but any frozen fruit will do.
These verrines can be used as a snack or dessert. Simply mix cooked quinoa with vanilla Greek yogurt and orange zest. Top with watermelon, raspberries and mint for a light dessert.
