Summer is here and we’ve gathered 25 of the Best Single Serving Summer Recipes! You’ll find light and healthy main dish recipes, salads made with garden fresh vegetables, light and fresh desserts and so many more – all in single serving sizes!
It’s time to indulge in all the freshness that summer has to offer – garden ripe vegetables, grilled meats, cool treats. Through the summer months, enjoy the season’s finest with these single serving summer recipes that are quick, easy to make, and absolutely delicious.
When temperatures are climbing, cooking can often be the last thing on my mind. So often summer recipes mean no-cook meals, raw salads, or cool smoothies. Those are all well and good, but at the end of a long day, sometimes you need to relax and enjoy a more comforting dish. It’s OK to turn on the oven and prepare something creamy or cheesy, bake a fruit-filled crisp, or whip up an indulgent dessert.
I’ve rounded up 25 small batch and single serving summer recipes. You’ll find light and tasty main dish recipes, hearty and healthy salads featuring fresh summer produce, single serving desserts filled with seasonal fruit, and rich and creamy ice cream recipes.
It was a struggle to keep this list of summer recipes at a reasonable number, so be sure to check out our recipe archives as well as our Pinterest board for even more summer recipes.
