Refreshing Summer Recipes


Watermelon Feta Salad with Mint

Celebrate the onset of summer with a refreshing salad that's as easy to make as it is delicious to eat. Cube 2 cups of fresh watermelon and toss with 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese and 1/4 cup of fresh, chopped mint leaves. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and a splash of olive oil. Toss gently and serve chilled for a refreshing start to your summer dining.


Classic BBQ Chicken Skewers

Fire up the grill on our outdoor terrace and treat your friends to some classic BBQ chicken skewers. Marinate chunks of chicken breast in a mixture of BBQ sauce, honey, garlic, and olive oil for at least an hour (overnight for best results). Thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with slices of onion and bell peppers. Grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, until nicely charred and cooked through. Serve hot with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
