Summer was made for fresh flavors and easy meals. With sunlit days and backyard dinners calling, there’s no better time to lean into simple, seasonal cooking. At Olive Amelia, we’re pairing fresh produce and bold blends to help every dish feel like a celebration of the season.
Whether you’re grilling, tossing together a vibrant salad, or finishing your favorite recipes with a splash of citrus or a drizzle of balsamic, our oils and vinegars bring bright, effortless flavor to the table. Here are a few summer-ready recipes to inspire your next bite.
Summer Salads that Shine
Kick things off with our Tomato, Peach & Corn Salad, a dish that truly tastes like summer in a bowl. Juicy tomato wedges, sweet peaches, and crisp corn are tossed in Peach Balsamic and Basil Olive Oil, then topped with feta and a crack of black pepper.
Marinades Made Easy
When it's too hot to fuss, let your marinade do the work. Our Citrus Garlic Marinade is a go-to for grilled chicken, seafood, or veggies. Made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, zesty citrus juices, Dijon mustard, and Salt Sisters Lemon Rosemary Garlic Salt, it’s a bright and flavorful base that comes together in seconds.
Flavorful Kebabs for Summer Grilling
For your next grilling session, try our Pork, Apricot & Red Onion Kebabs. The sweet apricots paired with savory pork and the tangy bite of red onion are all perfectly balanced with a marinade of Madagascar Black Peppercorn Olive Oil, Apricot Balsamic Vinegar, and a touch of cayenne. These kebabs are tender, juicy, and full of flavor, making them a must-have at your summer cookouts. Serve them with a side of couscous or a fresh green salad for a complete, vibrant meal.
Island Heat Meets Southern Comfort
Bring bold coastal flavor to your table with our Citrus Blackened Mahi Mahi with Southern Grits. The mahi is marinated with our Orange Olive Oil and Cara-Cara Orange & Vanilla Balsamic, then pan-seared to a golden crust. Served over creamy grits, this dish strikes the perfect balance of zesty, spicy, and comforting. A fresh summer favorite with Southern roots and serious flavor.
These dishes prove that summer cooking doesn’t have to be complicated—just fresh ingredients paired with the right oils and vinegars. Find all the featured flavors online or in our Amelia Island store, and get inspired to make the most of the season, one delicious bite at a time.
