As summer starts to wind down, I love gathering a mix of fresh, vibrant dishes that celebrate the season's flavors one last time. A mezze spread is perfect for this… light, colorful, and meant to be shared with friends and family.
Think crisp vegetables, bright herbs, creamy dips, warm breads, and just a touch of spice. Everything can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, letting conversation linger while the sun sets. It's the perfect way to send summer off in style!
Before we jump in, I would like to thank this week's newsletter sponsor, whose support helps keep these seasonal recipes coming your way.
Sitting on a beach. Relaxing in the countryside. Or… stuck at work? Online therapy with BetterHelp makes it easy to check in with yourself—no matter where you are.
Sautéed Green Beans with Caponata Sauce: If you've ever thought green beans were a little boring, this recipe is here to change your mind. This mezze recipe is inspired by the bold, sweet-and-tangy flavors of traditional Sicilian caponata with a modern twist.
Baked Eggplant Sandwiches: I love serving this Italian-inspired eggplant dish during the summer months. Provolone and sun dried tomatoes are sandwiched between two slices of eggplant, coated with crumbs and baked crisp and golden. I've included a low carb gluten free option, too.
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: This flavorful hummus is creamy, smoky, slightly sweet, spicy, garlicky goodness! Perfect for a summer mezze spread.
Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza: Something about the end of summer makes me crave thin crust pizza. This light bite is seasonal and delicious, featuring ripe figs, goat cheese, caramelized onions, and fresh arugula.
I'll be back next week with more delicious end of summer recipes to add to your menu.
In the meantime, I would love to connect on Facebook.
