It’s almost September, and kids are already heading back to school. I’m not ready for summer to be over, though—not when sunny days still linger and stalls at farmers markets are brimming with late-summer produce. I want to hold on to those vacation vibes a little longer, so I’m turning to simple Mediterranean dinner recipes, which capture the vibrant, sun-drenched flavors of the season with ease. Below, you’ll find one-pan marvels, including a chicken with bulgur pilaf and warm panzanella salad, alongside easy dishes, such as grilled squid and chicken souvlaki, that take barely any time to cook. With olive oil, garlic, fresh herbs, and warm spices on hand, you’ll be able to transform your farmers market haul into fuss-free Mediterranean-inspired meals.
