Summer is the season of outdoors. We want to spend as little time as possible indoors. Why be stuck in the house when the weather is perfect for picnics, hikes, or even a simple evening with a few friends (socially distanced, of course), taking in the sunset over dinner around the grill?

This time of year, we also tend to keep things simple and easy. And that extends to food. Why spend more time in the kitchen than we have to?

Here are three simple summer dishes sure to please, whether you're planning for a potluck, company or a quiet meal at home.
