Give Your Menu That Feeling of Summer

By Steven ParaIn LifestylePosted

What can we say, this year’s weather has so far been particularly cold and drab, but the good news is that there is light at the end of the tunnel – the sun is finally coming out. Not only that, it’s coming out just in time for you to make the most of it with some fresh, new ideas for that summer menu!

So let’s take a look at a couple of special summer items for your starter, main and dessert selections that simply scream that indescribable feeling of clear blue skies, summer sea breezes and warm sunset-lit romantic evenings.

SUMMER STARTERS:

  • How about salmon – with a sweet twist?
Grilled salmon is all about summer, but why not really freshen it up by grilling it with brown sugar and presenting with zucchini and fennel?
  • Or a new summer salad?
It’s still spring, so why not deconstruct a spring roll and present it as a summer salad, complete with rice noodles?

SUMMER MAINS:

  • Summer is all about eating light while enjoying a relaxing beer or two – so let’s combine the two, because everyone knows we love a great burger.
Give your favourite pulled-chicken summer sliders that unmistakable beer flavour by pickling the onion in a bottle of high quality pale ale.
  • And let’s stay with the summery chicken theme with a novel cutlet idea.
Serve your chicken cutlets as a summery salad, with plenty of red onion for that vibrant, summer colour, and replace the usual tomatoes with oh-so-summery juicy peaches.

SUMMER DESSERTS:

  • You’ve been waiting for summer, because … strawberries
There is no summer dessert menu without strawberries, because who doesn’t love them when they’re at their best? Make the most of it with a double strawberry pie, not forgetting to top it off with whipped cream. For a simple and delicious recipe, check out this one from food.com
  • And because it’s summer, make sure you have a no-bake option
When it’s really hot, you’ll want to finish off a great dinner outing with something sweet and cold, so how about a frozen dessert topped with honeyed peaches?

The ideas to make the most of summer when it comes to your menu selections are quite literally endless, so if you have a favourite or a clever suggestion, don’t be shy to let us know in the comments.
