Best of all? It takes minutes to blend and tastes even better after chilling. Whether you serve it as a first course or a light lunch with crusty bread, this no-cook recipe is a go-to for hot-weather eating.

For fans of clean eating, this soup is naturally vegan, loaded with antioxidants, and perfect for meal prep. As NYT Cooking suggests, it’s the kind of dish that lets peak-season produce shine — and dill brings a subtle twist that keeps things interesting.

Origin Dill Gazpacho

Traditional gazpacho comes from Andalusia, Spain, where ripe tomatoes and stale bread are blended into a cold soup. This version swaps out some of the bread and peppers for extra cucumber and a generous handful of dill, giving it a fresh, garden-inspired twist.

What I Love About This Recipe

It takes just minutes to blend and tastes even better after chilling a few hours. The dill and lemon make it taste extra bright, and it’s naturally vegan and gluten-free if you omit the bread.

Perfect for scooping with crunchy tortilla chips or spooning onto tacos, nachos, or even grilled meats, this dip is more than an appetizer — it’s a crowd favorite waiting to happen. Whether you’re hosting game night or a summer BBQ, this elote dip guarantees there won’t be leftovers.

Origin Chef John’s Mexican Street Corn Dip

Elote, or Mexican street corn, is typically grilled on the cob and slathered with mayo, lime, chili, and Cotija cheese. This dip takes all those flavors — roasted corn, tangy lime, salty cheese, and a little kick — and bakes them into a warm, melty dish.

What I Love About This Recipe

It’s simple to throw together and can be prepped ahead. The combination of sweet corn, creamy base, and chili-lime seasoning hits every note: salty, tangy, and just a bit spicy.

No-Bake Cheesecake Flag Cake is a festive and creamy dessert made with a graham cracker crust, a smooth no-bake cheesecake filling, and fresh berries arranged to resemble the American flag. The cake is chilled until set, making it perfect for summer celebrations like the Fourth of July. Strawberries and blueberries not only create a patriotic look but also add a fresh, fruity contrast to the rich filling. It’s an effortless showstopper that requires no oven time and delivers on both taste and appearance.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups fresh blueberries

• 1½ cups fresh strawberries, halved or sliced

• 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup heavy cream, cold

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 15 full sheets)

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

Directions

• In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until evenly moistened.
• Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
• In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
• Add vanilla extract and beat to combine.
• In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
• Spread filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set.
• Arrange blueberries in the top left corner to form the “stars” square.
• Arrange strawberries in rows to create the stripes pattern.
• Keep chilled until ready to serve.

Notes

• You can substitute raspberries for strawberries if you prefer.
• For cleaner slices, freeze the cake for 30 minutes before cutting.
• If you don’t have a 9×13 dish, this also works in a large sheet pan or trifle dish.

Ingredients

• 4 cups crumbled cornbread (homemade or store-bought)

• 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

• 1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ red onion, finely chopped

• 1 green bell pepper, diced

• 1 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

• Optional: 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

• Garnish: chopped green onions or parsley

Directions

• Prep cornbread: If making homemade, bake it first; cool completely and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
• Layer: In a large bowl or clear trifle dish, layer half the cornbread, then half each of bacon, tomatoes, corn, cheese, onion, and bell pepper.
• Dress: Drizzle half the ranch dressing over the layers.
• Repeat: Add remaining layers of cornbread and veggies, and finish with the rest of the dressing on top.
• Garnish & chill: Sprinkle chopped eggs (if using) and green onions or parsley over the top. Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving so flavors meld.

Notes

• Make it vegetarian: Skip the bacon and add black beans or chickpeas.
• Stale cornbread works best: It holds its shape and absorbs flavors without becoming mushy.
• Spice it up: Stir a bit of hot sauce into the dressing or add diced jalapeños.
• Storage: Keeps covered in the fridge for up to 2 days—give it a gentle toss before serving.

Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

• 3 cups chopped rhubarb (fresh or thawed frozen)

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• 1 tbsp cornstarch

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional but lovely)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup rolled oats

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• Pinch of salt

• ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Transfer the fruit mixture to a greased baking dish.
