Pesto Pasta Caprese Salad

Buckwheat Queen

"I can’t get enough Caprese in my life during the summer months—and this super customizable recipe is one I've returned to again and again. Pasta salad is usually considered a side dish, but this one is definitely hearty enough to stand on its own (though you can definitely add a protein to make it even more filling)."— Corey Williams, Editor, Evergreen

"Fluffy naan is always a godsend for this quick, customizable dinner. My kids love prosciutto or salami on a simple margherita pizza, so this recipe is always on rotation in our house. I like to add dried oregano and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to finish." Diana Moutsopoulos, Editorial Director, Evergreen

Easy After-Work Chicken Française

Easy After-Work Chicken Française

"Chicken Francese is a classic—I like it because it’s made with a lighter, lemony, butter-based pan sauce instead of a thicker cream sauce. Since the sauce is cooked directly in the pan with the chicken, it cuts down on cleanup later. I typically serve it with linguini or angel hair pasta tossed with a little olive oil." — Jenny Kellerhals, Social Media Contractor

Chef John's Salmon

Chef John's Salmon

"This is my go-to salmon recipe! It’s simply delicious and couldn’t be easier. I love how versatile it is—I’ve used different herbs, depending on what I’ve had in the house, and it comes out great every time" — Barbara Sauermann, Senior Content Producer, Recipes

"This is my new hyper-fixation dinner. The Everything Bagel seasoning is such a smart addition to a standard salmon and vegetable sheet pan dinner. It adds so much texture and flavor with minimal effort. Can't recommend this enough!" — Ariel Knutson, Senior Editorial Director, Features
