Culinary experts share seasonal recipes for summer dining

Various culinary experts have shared recipes designed for fresh, light dining. Chef Totò Catania presents a green gazpacho recipe intended to combat summer heat without using a stove. The dish combines red onion, green pepper, cucumber, green apple, avocado, spinach, and lettuce, seasoned with oil, salt, pepper, chili, and vinegar.

Additionally, Chef Ciccio Sultano of the two-star Michelin Ristorante Duomo suggests a salad featuring lamb's lettuce, peaches, and casera cheese. This recipe is enhanced with sunflower seeds seasoned with garum and fig oil. Sultano recommends using firm, slightly underripe peaches and utilizing the peels to provide tannic notes that balance the sweetness of the fruit.
