Thai Cucumber Salad
This Thai cucumber salad with cilantro and peanuts is very close to what you'd get at a Thai restaurant. I like to add jalapeños to balance the sweet and tangy rice wine vinegar dressing. It's always a hit at summer picnics since it doesn't need to be refrigerated.
Chef John's Creamy Mushroom Soup
This mushroom soup is creamy and rich — it's one of my favorite soups of all time and it's so easy! The long, slow caramelization of the mushrooms requires a little patience, but it really unlocks their magical flavor, which is the secret to this mushroom soup.
Smash Burgers
This smash burger recipe makes super juicy burgers with crispy edges. I prefer to cook these outdoors — they grill up very fast because of the high heat, so make sure you have everything ready to go!
