We’re suckers for grilled fruit, but we’ve never seen it like this. The tahini adds creaminess and a subtle nutty, savory flavor that would pair great with grilled fish.
A little olive oil, salt and heat can do wonders for out-of-season produce, but if you’re making this dish in late summer with ripe tomatoes, it will taste *that* much better.
New party trick: Warm an entire wheel of cheese until it’s gooey, then smother it in spicy honey and set out crackers for dipping. The crowd will go wild.

Best Healthy Summer Recipes
As promised, today I’m sharing four of my favorite dishes using French’s Classic Yellow Mustard that can elevate your picnic game! Here, we have a few modern twists on some of the classics and what I really want to show you is how you can whisk some of this wonderful mustard flavor into any dressing or sauce or marinade to up your summer menu game!
The best thing about these is that they are all simple. Some can be made ahead of time, but regardless they are all perfect for a relaxed evening when entertaining friends. You don’t even have to depend on an exact recipe for any of these. Whisk a spoonful of this delicious mustard into a dip or drizzle will work almost anywhere! Nothing fussy, just really, really good food.
First up, my personal favorite. Grilled or roasted baby potatoes drizzled with chimichurri. I ADORE chimichurri – I mean, that’s probably and understatement. And this time, I took my favorite recipe (and all those fresh herbs), added a drop of mustard and combined it all for the most delicious, tangy, slightly briny, bright and herby chimichurri drizzle.
Our Top Tips For Stress Free Summer Entertaining
This stuff is herb GOLD. You can use it like I do here on the potatoes, but also on steak, chicken, salads, roasted vegetables – I mean, the list goes on! Super fantastic, I tell you.
It’s no secret how much we love kale salad here. A few years ago when I first learned to make massaged kale salads, our dinner game changed. I think we ate a version of kale salad for dinner once a week for over a year. Because the thing is, when you massage the kale, it not only takes on a perfectly chewy texture, it also releases some of the bitterness of the greens.
Topped with cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper, this is an AMAZING starter salad summer. It has so much more flavor than you’d anticipate!
Easy Summer Recipes
Next up, I used a drop of French’s Classic Yellow to make a tangy greek yogurt dill dip for a summer crudité platter! This is my go-to easy appetizer if people drop in and I have some veggies on hand. Plain greek yogurt, a spoonful of mustard, salt and pepper, a touch of mayo and a huuuuge handful of fresh dill.
Not only does this make for a delish dip, you can use it on salads too. Toss all of those dip seasoning packets for this bowl. You’ll want to eat it with a spoon!
A few years ago, I never would have even entertained the idea of grilled cabbage. I’ve completely fallen in love with it (to be honest, it all started with tacos…) and now? It’s a staple on the grill. It gets smoky and charred and if you’re into the crunchy texture like I am, you’ll flip.
Summer Entertaining Meal Plan With Pecans
But what really takes it over the top is this chili mustard dressing. Ooooooh it is GOOD. It’s spicy and tangy with a hint of sweetness. It’s everything you want in a bowl even if you didn’t realize it!
I absolutely love the way that you can swirl French’s right into these dressings and dips and sauces to make each dish more delicious. It’s super easy and just gives it that extra oomph!

Party Food Recipes
According to some people’s calendars, summer ended last week after Labor Day. For others, we have one week left. If life has taught me anything, it’s that the weather doesn’t care what the date is; It will be warm as long as it wants to be.
Regardless of the end of summer or the beginning of fall, however, I’m determined to hold on to a few ideologies that we tend to leave behind in summer, including summer dinner party plans!
In summer, we make fun plans, invite friends over, and embrace being carefree. Then it seems we all hunker back down to real life before getting caught up in the abyss of the holiday season.
