05of 23Taiwanese Cucumber SaladPhotographer: Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop stylist: Addelyn EvansThis cucumber salad is so simple, it hardly needs a recipe. Persian cucumbers are the perfect texture for this salad and are often less bitter than other varieties. Salting the cucumbers pulls out the excess water, so don’t be tempted to skip this step or you’ll end up with a pool of liquid. We enjoy eating this salad right away, but you can also refrigerate it for up to 4 hours, if desired.View Recipe

06of 23Grilled Cabbage with Cilantro-Lime ButterPhotographer: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Prop Stylist: Lydia Pursell, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors HallThis grilled cabbage is sure to transform your next BBQ. Here’s why: cabbage becomes deeply flavorful when it hits the hot grill. Once the outer leaves turn crispy and caramelized, move the cabbage to the cooler side of the grill for the tender-crisp center to finish cooking. This fuss-free side, topped with a flavorful compound butter, makes a perfect match for grilled meats, chicken or seafood. Sturdy heads of green cabbage work well here. If you prefer a darker color, red cabbage will work well too.View Recipe
