At El Comidista we spend the year waiting for summer, and not because we want to be with our feet in the sand or sunbathing on any of the wonderful beaches on the Spanish coast.
What we like about summer is, without a doubt, that the fruit fan opens in its maximum splendor and lets us enjoy some fruits that we would like to eat throughout the year.
We are talking about watermelons, peaches, raspberries, red fruits, figs, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, among others.
Well, since we know that you like summer fruit as much as we do, we have compiled our ten best recipes for you to calm your inner fruit craving.
Almond, ricotta and peach tart
A dessert, snack or breakfast in which fresh cheese, seasonal fruit and nuts take center stage.
It is not too sweet and allows many variations.
Grilled watermelon salad with feta cheese
The fruit that reigns in the summer approaches another protagonist of the season, the barbecue, to finish in a salad with cheese and nuts.
If you don't plan to make a fire, you can always use the iron.
Three fruit dishes enhanced with feta cheese
We mixed this Brine Cured Greek Cheese with Pear, Apricot, and Watermelon in three different recipes.
You can imagine the result: it makes you want to go to the Peloponnese to buy 10 kilos of feta.
Glasses of red fruits with cream
A dessert inspired by a French cake called fraisier, with a sponge base, lots of cream and red berries.
We can make it as simple or complicated as we want, depending on whether the cake is homemade or not.
The incredible world of macerated strawberries
This seasonal fruit offers us many possibilities beyond eating it washed and cut: macerations with vinegars, citrus fruits or alcohols enhance its sweetness.
As a gift, a menu for lunch and dinner.
Three recipes to take advantage of all the melon (seeds included)
We are not satisfied with a lavish melon salad recipe: we also teach how to make horchata with the seeds and a pickle with the rind.
The "zero waste" in melon version.
Three breakfasts with summer fruits to start the day right
Now that we have a lot of fruits in their ideal season of consumption, can you only think of toast bread for breakfast?
If no recipe comes to mind, here we propose three with melon, figs and peaches.
Caprese salad with figs and lemon
We swapped the tomato from the most popular salad in Italian cuisine for a delicious seasonal fruit, and added a citrus touch to the pearl dressing.
Peach salad with lime
This 'acevichada' salad is perfect to spend these hot days.
It is refreshing and spicy and you can change the peach for other seasonal fruits such as watermelon or melon.
How to make 100% fruit creamy ice cream
If you have ingredients as simple as banana, avocado, coconut milk, raw nuts and other fresh or dehydrated fruits at home, get ready: you are one step away from being the king of summer.
