Strawberries and cream...and cardamom. The cooling spice and cucumbers give berries an element of intrigue.

Bitter and bossy seeks warm and sweet: This robust dressing is capable of standing up to—and slightly softening—acerbic greens like dandelion or arugula. (Maybe it's the bacon...)

Over the last few years I have started to love zucchini, but I have to admit that by the end of the season, it's like, "Not another bloody zucchini!" That said, this is one of the joys of eating seasonally—anticipation and excitement at the start of the season, despair and overload at the end.

You can assemble this elote-inspired party starter ahead of time, and then bake right before you're ready to serve it.

This recipe combines your favorite bagel toppers with an acidic snap of pickled green tomatoes.

With super fresh tomatoes you don't need much more! This toast combines sharp ricotta salata cheese with plump green tomatoes and lemon juice for a refreshing bite. We like green zebra tomatoes for their pretty yellow stripes and bright, floral flavor, but any ripe green tomato will work in this dish.

This juicy, crunchy salad-on-toast gets even more texture (and flavor) thanks to quickly fried capers and basil.

Roasting cherry tomatoes with maple syrup enhances their natural sweetness, making them an ideal partner for rich, tangy goat cheese.

Caramelized tomatoes add a pop of tanginess to these garlicky toasts.

Tomatoes and peaches top fresh mozzarella and toasted brioche in this unbelievably easy (and flavorful) take on Caprese.

Tomatoes and fresh corn salsa add a Mexican twist to the classic avocado toast. To add a smoky flavor to the mix, grill the corn first.

The Spanish dish Pan con Tomate literally means "bread with tomato." In our version, an extra-crunchy piece of toast is rubbed with garlic and anchovy oil, then soaked with tomato purée and finally topped with a hearty sprinkle of smoked salt.

Fry up bacon, tomatoes, and eggs all in the same skillet for this upgrade on the classic breakfast sandwich.

Once you try the combination of tangy and smoky flavors of pickled, grilled cabbage, you'll always want to make your slaw this way.

Skip the dried-out grocery store slaw packets. Instead, grate broccoli stems and toss with chopped florets and an Asian-inspired dressing for a great combo of textures and bold, beautiful flavor.

Let the flavors of perfect summer tomatoes shine on this simple-is-best toast.
