When it comes to dishes that are as fresh as they are delicious, we trust Danielle Michaan—the culinary creative behind Coco et Sel. Which is why we asked her to create two recipes that celebrate peak summer, full of the ripe, seasonal ingredients you’re seeing all over the farmers market. Read on for the recipes, plus how to recreate her tablescape.

The Menu

Slightly cooled and decidedly refreshing, this caprese pasta salad recipe is perfect for warm days. It has loads of tomatoes, chunks of burrata, plenty of basil, and a zingy balsamic finish. Then comes a lush summer dessert, bubbling with fruit and topped with a golden oat crumble. Just add ice cream for an irresistible à la mode effect.
