5 Seasonal Veggies to Enjoy This Summer

#1 Cucumbers

Try snacking on some cucumber with hummus or enjoying sliced cucumber in a salad for some added crunch! 

#2 Bell Peppers

Bell peppers make another great dipping veggies to dip into hummus or even guacamole. Or, try using bell pepper halves in place of bread for your favorite sandwich for a healthy twist and an easy way to get in some extra veggies. 

#3 Eggplant

If you’re a fan of eggplant, take advantage of this time of year when they’re in season and make some eggplant parm — make it even healthier by using dairy-free cheese. 

#4 Tomatoes 

Tomatoes are a summertime favorite and a great addition to salads or even quinoa stir-frys. There are also different varieties of tomatoes like grape, cherry, and heirloom tomatoes, so you can try a handful until you find your favorites! 

#5 Shallots

Shallots make a flavorful addition to stir-frys, pasta, or even rice dishes. They are also easy to find at the grocery store, so consider adding some shallot to your recipes if you are looking to branch out from the usual red onion. 

Make This Summer Your Healthiest One Yet
