Our Community’s 10 Favorite Recipes in July

With July came the arrival of summer favorites like tomatoes, corn, summer squash, and stone fruits—and our community couldn’t get enough. Almost all of last month’s most popular recipes highlighted the season’s bounty, from a no-cook tomato and peach salad to a simple BLT with avocado.

Needless to say, the recipes were a hit—to find them (along with many others), see the whole list below. From Our Shop Sabre Bistrot Vintage Finish Rice Spoon $38–$43 …
