Following up on my Eat by Color article, I’m sharing a vibrant lineup of summer recipes that celebrate the season’s abundance and put color on your plate in the most delicious way. From strawberry bruschetta and basil cashew cheese to corn chowder and apricot red lentil stew—not to mention roasted red pepper hummus and a bonus cocktail (hello, strawberry gin smash!)—these plant-rich dishes are as nourishing as they are beautiful. Let me know what you think!

Strawberry Bruschetta

I’ve served this for brunch, as an hors d’oeuvre, and as an after-dinner dessert. For the latter, I’ve also added chocolate shavings on top. The bottom line is that it’s incredibly flexible, super delicious, and and very pretty!
