2Chinese Chicken Salad
PHOTO: BRYAN GARDNER; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISONI fell in love with the dish in eighth grade—it made me feel grown-up and sophisticated. Twenty-something years later, I still find the salad delicious. It's sweet, savory, refreshing, and extremely crunchy. (I'm a huge sucker for iceberg lettuce.) The key ingredient in this summer salad? Uncooked ramen noodles for that irresistible crunch.

4Copycat Kudos Bar
PHOTO: JOSEPH DE LEO; FOOD STYLING: TAYLOR ANN SPENCERIf you were a kid in the '90s, the thought of a Kudos Bar likely brings back memories of a chocolatey, peanut buttery, crisp yet chewy, after-school treat (and maybe some lunchtime bartering). While you can’t find them in stores anymore, my no-bake copycat Kudos Bars are even better than I remember.

Parker FeierbachThis grilled cheese is all about the crust.

14Grilled Tuna Steak With Scallion Sauce
Andrew buiThose who say that good things take time have clearly never grilled a tuna steak. Once the grill is preheated, tuna steaks take around 5 minutes to grill. The secret to a steak that’s beautifully rare on the inside is a ripping hot grill, so be patient as it heats up. This ensures that when the fish hits the hot grates, it'll sear, not stick.

Ethan CalabreseWhen I was a kid you couldn't possibly convince me there was a fancier restaurant than Red Lobster.
