Share a recipe or meal that is a summertime favorite. (Bonus: Pick someone else's recipe or meal and make it, then blog about your results later on this month).

GAH! The anxiety of sharing recipes! In public! With my tens and tens of readers!
I'm new to cooking. Or maybe not new to cooking...but new to feeling like a decent cook. So it's still a little scary to suggest recipes to others. And I don't really have any summertime favorites of my own...though I would suggest you stop by my mom and dad's house on a night they're grilling out. My dad can grill like crazy...and my mom is the best chef on the planet.
Although I can't offer you a tried-and-true Ronning-Mac Bride family favorite, I can offer this: Jay's Summer Salad! A simple blend of tomatoes, corn, avocado, mozzarella, olive oil, cilantro and lime juice. It is refreshing and simple to make.
And it has the sweet distinction of being the first new recipe I tried upon moving into our new house. Jay fell in love with it instantly. "Can we call it Summer Salad?" he asked. Who am I to quibble about titles when my husband is praising my feeble attempts at cooking. It's a new favorite in our new home.
Enjoy!

Ha! If we don't have this in our house in the next 5 or 6 days I'll be absolutely shocked...you had Kassie at cilantro. Love salads like these. We've done a similar version w/ some roasted corn (quick on the grill then stripped off the cob) and some shrimp. Tasty stuff!
LORD that looks good. Pretty sure I'm making that this weekend.
So easy! And I'll confess that I used frozen corn kernels...still awesome! :)
Summer salad sounds great!
This sounds like a great summer take on Caprese salad, which is one of my ultimate favorite things. I am definitely busting this recipe out in the next couple of weeks!
