Last night, using some of the ingredients we had on hand, we decided to make a simple summer dinner.<\/p>\n

Our fridge has been overflowing lately with summer squash (also known as zucchini) and fresh corn cobs. These in-season vegetables are so delicious and easy to prepare.<\/p>\n

We’ve grilled or boiled the corn cobs and smeared them with butter and salt, yum!<\/p>\n

As for summer squash, we’ve added it to smoothies for extra volume and vitamins. We’ve made spaghetti and fritters<\/a> out of it almost every week.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, corn and squash were in our dinner.<\/p>\n

And since I’ve rediscovered my love for beluga lentils and creamy tahini dressings, it was natural to include them.<\/p>\n

We also needed some protein in this meal, and I was considering using some chicken from the freezer. But I had a large chunk of halloumi cheese that I’d been wanting to play with, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity.<\/p>\n

As we started to cook, I thought it would be fun to do an impromptu photo shoot and share with you a simple, everyday summer meal.<\/p>\n

So here it is!<\/p>\n

This is a typical, simple dinner we would enjoy on a lazy Sunday night.<\/p>\n

My partner loved the halloumi (it almost looks and tastes like chicken!) and the creamy tahini dressing.<\/p>\n

I was missing a little bit of sweetness in the meal and thought that a few raisins or dried cranberries would do the trick, so I’ve included them in the finished recipe.<\/p>\n

You can use whatever you have on hand for this meal. If you have leftover pesto, use that instead of the tahini dressing. Or, instead of halloumi, roast some chicken and add more vegetables if you like.<\/p>\n

My hope is that this meal will inspire you to make use of the wonderful seasonal produce of summer and to create some tasty green meals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
