A quick sauté in a hot pan with good olive oil, salt and pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then these babies are done and ready for snacking. I serve them up with my favorite, 3-ingredient sauce I’ve been whipping up for years. Mayo, Dijon and grated Parmesan create the perfect, creamy and tangy sauce for dipping.

These jammy and garlicky tomatoes would be good alone or spread on crusty bread, but of course we’re talking indulgence here with this recipe. Freshly chopped basil, creamy, dreamy burrata and garlicky crostini turn these perfect tomatoes into a show-stopping dish.

This salad serves as both a healthy carb and veggie-packed side dish. With sweet, grilled corn, burst cherry tomatoes, lots of fresh herbs, creamy avocado and a zesty, lime vinaigrette, this salad screams summer.

Topped off with a sprinkle of cilantro, they are gorgeous-looking to boot!

And while the time-saving factor is all well and good, let’s be real: this is really all about the FLAVOR. The vodka sauce alone is worth licking your bowl clean for.
