On vacation, it’s time to relax and do nothing. And when you come back from the beach, you want anything but spend hours in the kitchen. Don’t panic, here are some tips and recipes for a guaranteed hassle-free vacation!

The perfect holiday recipes

Focus on the right ingredients

In summer, everyone wants freshness, adults and children alike. So we take the opportunity to go to the local market gardener to enjoy local products, perfectly in season. And since in summer, we like to save time, we focus on fruits and vegetables to eat raw. Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, melon, watermelon, peaches, apricots, strawberries, blueberries, green salads, the products are at the peak of their ripeness and it can be felt when tasting them.

Mixed salad, the star of summer

No matter what you say and try to find serious competitors, the summer salad that can be prepared in 10 minutes remains THE flagship dish of the holidays. With infinite variations, it plays with the codes and adapts to everything you have on hand. Vegetables, fruits, fresh herbs, cubes of cheese, oilseeds, smoked fish, all kinds of cold meats, everything is possible. As for seasoning, the vinaigrette can completely change the taste of the dish. For example, a vinaigrette with lemon juice will tip the scales towards the tangy side, while a sesame oil sauce will take your taste buds on a journey to Asia.

Very simple desserts on the menu

As for dessert, while fresh fruit or fruit caramelized for a few moments in a pan and served with a scoop of ice cream are always a good option, you can also try some very simple desserts like shortcakes that cook in just 10 minutes.

For inspiration, here are 50 recipes, from cocktails to desserts, including grills and salads that will accompany us all summer long.
