9Grilled Plum & Pancetta Panzanella Salad
PHOTO: RACHEL VANNI; FOOD STYLING: TAYLOR ANN SPENCERSince plums are their best at the height of summer, it’s only right to toss them on the grill and add some smokey char to their naturally sweet-tart flavor. The transformed plums get tossed with crispy pancetta, tangy goat cheese, fresh cherry tomatoes, and grilled sourdough bread, then drizzled with a maple-Dijon dressing, turning this humble salad into a work of art.

10Air Fryer Corn On The Cob
PHOTO: JOEL GOLDBERG; FOOD STYLING: BARRETT WASHBURNEWhat can't the air fryer do? After air frying until the cobs turn bright yellow and the kernels are tender, you'll stir up a tangy feta topping to make Greek-inspired street corn (kind of like Mexican elote, but with Greek yogurt instead of cotija)

11Grilled Green Tomatoes

12Lemon-Herb Rice Pilaf
PHOTO: RACHEL VANNI; FOOD STYLING: ADRIENNE ANDERSONThis rice pilaf recipe has enough going on to be the main event, but can also be the supporting role for roasted meats and fish. Textures are the key to giving this dish complexity: A crunch from the almonds, a freshness from the herbs and lemon, and a sharp, briny punch of feta all combine for the perfect bite.

13Grilled Zucchini With Ricotta & Walnuts
PHOTO: RACHEL VANNI ; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISONInstead of leaving the zucchini in their traditional slices, we threaded them onto skewers to lessen the amount of direct contact the zucchini had with the grill and create contrasting textures. The ribboning also creates plenty of nooks and crannies for the creamy ricotta and walnuts to settle.

14Homemade Cornbread
PHOTO: ANDREW BUI; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISONHere at Delish, we want our perfect cornbread to be thick, tender, just a little bit sweet, and not at all dry. We also believe that cornbread should be simple, a side you can whip up quickly to serve with chili or smoky beans that takes way less time than making homemade rolls. THIS is that perfect recipe.
