Here are 20 easy summer dinner ideas that are quick and healthy! They’re perfect for a hot summer night when you want to throw together dinner in 30 minutes or less. Lots of new recipes to add to your weekly rotation!

No one wants to be cooped up in a hot kitchen all summer! I don’t know about you, but I want to be outside as much as possible. These easy summer dinner recipes are healthy and you can throw together in no time, so you can get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.

I love how fresh summer cooking can be! Grilled veggies are probably my all time favorite summer dish, but if I had to pick one it might be grilled zucchini. It’s the perfect side for a burger or some grilled chicken. They’re the best!

Plus, I love that fresh herbs are plentiful. I can grab some basil or cilantro right out my backdoor. It instantly heightens a dish! It’s add a burst of flavor and makes it gorgeous too.
