03of 15Grilled Lemon-Herb VinaigretteView RecipeJason DonnellyThis easy lemon-herb vinaigrette pairs nicely with grilled meat and veggies alike. Mix and match your favorite herbs to adjust the flavor to fit your meal. Grilling the lemon before juicing it brings out the fruit’s sweetness and concentrates its flavors.

05of 15Pavlova with Meyer Lemon Curd & Citrus SaladView RecipeWilliam DickeyMeringue is very fun to play with and can be spread or piped into many different designs. Here, we like a neat, simple mound with a little bit of natural swoosh. You can draw a circle in the center of your parchment with a pen or marker to use as a guide when shaping; just be sure to flip the parchment over so the pen won’t come in contact with the meringue. This pavlova recipe has several components that can be prepared ahead to make serving a breeze.
