Red Grapefruit Salad with Avocado & Pistachios

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

The simplicity of this grapefruit salad recipe really lets the flavors of the fruit and avocado shine through. If you haven't tried chervil, it's worth seeking out. The herb looks like lacy parsley and, though subtle, has hints of licorice and anise with a touch of basil.

Char-Grilled Grapes with Burrata, Fennel Seeds & Basil

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

If you can't find burrata for this savory fruit salad recipe—balls of fresh mozzarella cheese filled with curd and cream—use very fresh mozzarella instead: it won't have the oozing creaminess but the dish will still be delicious. And since it’s likely too cold to grill outside, use a grill pan for similar results!
