There\u2019s no denying that this summer was a scorcher. Certainly one for the record books. Come winter, we\u2019ll be wishing for a heat wave \u2013 and summer food<\/a><\/strong> – again. Just so there are no regrets later on, it\u2019s time to attend to your summer food bucket list. Beat the heat one last time with these highly nutritious, oh so good, summer favorites. This list of foods to eat before summer dies includes recipes that are analyzed and maintained in Calorie Count\u2019s extensive recipe browser.<\/p>\n

Caprice Salad<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The queen of tomato salads from the magical Isle of Capri. There is nothing to cook, but it does require perfectly ripe, heavy, aromatic, lycopene-filled tomatoes and cool, fresh, calcium-loaded buffalo mozzarella.<\/p>\n

Grilled Zucchini<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quick, tasty, and only 30 calories for one whole nutrient-rich, high-fiber zucchini. And those hatch marks from the grill are so pretty. You could eat them every day.\"\"<\/p>\n

Greek Tzatziki<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pretend you\u2019re in Greece: it\u2019s warm and sunny and you\u2019re eating outdoors under a grapevine canopy. You dip your grilled meat, fish, vegetables and your warm pita bread into a cool and creamy cucumber yogurt dip. Who knew cucumbers could be so heavenly? This recipe is ultra low in calories when you use fat-free Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n

Fresh Corn Sautee<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

We know that corn is full of fiber and chewing satisfaction, but did you know corn is also full of antioxidants, B-vitamins, phosphorus, and protein? August and September are prime time for corn, and fresh-picked corn – cut off the cob \u2013 is the basis for many exciting side dishes.<\/p>\n

Mojitos<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

The refreshing tastes of mint and lime just scream summer. And, of course, limes are full of vitamin C and mint oil has healing effects on the respiratory system. The Mojito, born in tropical Cuba, was Ernest Hemingway\u2019s favorite drink. More nutritious than most cocktails<\/a><\/strong>, it\u2019s high time for a Mojito.<\/p>\n
