Normally it’s desserts that are called a showstopper, but this gorgeous green, orange, and red salad might just take the cake. It’s pretty, colorful, and full of fresh, summertime flavors, including peppery arugula, juicy peaches and a zingy herb oil that might just become a kitchen staple. Save any extra oil to drizzle on soup, toss with grains, or stir into scrambled eggs. Burrata will add a heavenly creaminess to this salad, but fresh mozzarella works deliciously, too. And, if you’re vegetarian, you can skip the prosciutto.

Ah, grilling season. The best time of the year. These easy kebabs pack in a lot of flavor without too much work, thanks to a flavorful marinade for the swordfish, juicy pineapple, and charred red onion. Cooking tip: soak the bamboo skewers in water while the fish marinates. The moisture keeps the wood from burning on the grill. If you don’t love cilantro, fresh parsley or chives would both work equally well here. Serve with a rice pilaf, roasted potatoes, or a green salad to make the meal into a big dinner.
