If you want to make the farmers market dinner recipe even more decadent, add a few crumbles of goat cheese on top (which you might also find at the market).

Found a bounty of blueberries at the farmers market? You're in luck! Pile 6 cups (yeah, 6 cups!) of them into this fruit pie jazzed up with a layer of semisweet chocolate and a sour cream cookie crust. The sheer amount of fruit in this farmers market recipe makes this one of our favorite blueberry recipes to make whenever we are lucky enough to score a big carton of them.

As summer wanes and the produce transitions to local fall ingredients, put root vegetables to good use in this side-dish salad. Roasting veggies brings out their rich, sweet flavors and creates a salad that's hearty but not heavy. Instead of croutons, top the hearty salad with chopped pecans.

Top chili-garlic chicken with quick-pickled (done in about an hour) veggies in this Korean-style stir-fry.

When you're ready to transition from summer to fall farmers market recipes, put this dish at the top of your list. Roasting delicata squash (and the seeds) makes it tender, and serving it on a bed of fresh curly kale and sliced fennel adds more fresh fall flavor. To make this a complete farmers market meal rather than a side or starter, add grilled or roast chicken or salmon.

Farmers market ingredients featured: Corn, cucumbers, basil, mint, chives

Salads need not start with leafy greens. We’re keen on this one that features late-summer vegetables. There are only four ingredients for this simple summer salad that you may not find at your farmers market: salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice (though you might be able to pick up a lemon and the oil). As this side dish recipe proves, keeping it easy and letting fresh summer ingredients shine are key to serving up a stunning salad.
