2 Healthy Summer Recipes You’ll Want To Cook On Repeat All Season Long

These moreish dishes, perfect for hot summer days, tick all the boxes.

Eating al fresco when it’s cool enough in the evenings, grilled goodies and seasonal favourites like tomato and watermelon all help make summer the best period for foodies. Those bright sunny days are also the easiest time for eating a little healthier too because when it’s hot and sticky, light meals are what we’re mostly craving. Thankfully, most healthy summer recipes are relatively quick and easy to make, which is ideal because no one wants to be working over a hot stove for hours when it’s already boiling outside. And as these two delicious recipes from Clinique La Prairie prove, you don’t have to compromise on flavour or aesthetics while cutting down on time in the kitchen.

Each recipe from Switzerland’s luxury spa and wellness destination gives a signature dish a twist that caters to the health-conscious foodie. With a full range of aromatic herbs that preserve all the flavours and nutritional benefits, they are perfect for those who appreciate a fresh take on cooking traditions and practices.
