HERE: 14 Stylish Summer Recipes

Frozen Pineapple Margarita

This recipe had me at the Himalayan Sea Salt rim. It's the only salt allowed in my home. And even better, this margarita is made without a mix. Everything is fresh!

One Kings Lane

Melon and Prosciutto Platter

This is really all you need for a crowd. Sweet, juicy, dry and salty. It instantly 

pleases the palette.

Honestly Yum

Pan Fried Feta With Peppered Honey

Confession - I rarely buy feta cheese, though I do like it. I just stay away from cheese period, unless it is on a pizza.  BUT.....I love ordering Saganaki at a Greek restaurant. This recipe reminds me of that, but with a twist. OPA! I'll be making this app in the coming months.

Half Baked Harvest

Summer Crostini

My hostessing experience has found that guests get excited to eat crostini. A platter of these beauties would be appealing. No other offering is needed.

Half Baked Harvest

Summer Babe

I like the sounds of this recipe! This is a perfect rosé cocktail, made with Aperol, white peach puree, fresh lemon and Hendrick's Gin, and 

simple syrup.

Elle Decor

Bacon Wrapped Grilled Peaches With Balsamic Glaze

I bet that these make the perfect bite - sweet, salty, and savory. The best part is that you grill this dish.  Just gorgeous!

Foodie Crush

Hibiscus Martini

This martini is magically made with tequila and hibiscus flowers. Very special, maybe for a girls night in?

Beautiful Booze

Cajun Shrimp Guacamole Bites

A recipe that features three of my favorite things.  It's colorful and surely tasty.

Joyful Healthy Eats

Mexican Shrimp Ceviche

With all of the flavors of Summer, this bright appetizer will cool off any warm weather day. It's an easy recipe that plays well with an ice cold beer and good music!

The Seaside Baker

Watermelon-Mint Caipirinha
Oh how refreshing! This cocktail calls for cachaça, a liquor I have never heard of.  It sounds fun though. 
One Kings Lane

Chicken Caesar Crouton Cups

One of the cutest appetizers ever! It's a classic reinvented with a twist. What a light and
 lovely offering.

Deviled Crab Dip
This just may be the dip of Summer! Using endive as a dipper is genius, too. A must make.
How Sweet Eats

Spicy Watermelon Sangria
Sangria is always a crowd favorite. Just about everyone enjoys it. When in doubt, make a pitcher of it, but make it with this recipe. It's unique, sweet, and spicy. Oh! And just look how pretty it is.

Summer Cheese Board

Brie, gorgonzola, gouda, cheddar, fresh summer berries and cherries! Is this not gorgeous? Adding the Summer fruit really makes it pop. Bring this to your next patio party, and you will be asked back for sure.

Damn Delicious
