Ina garten summer recipes

When it’s hot — and we mean 90-plus-degrees hot — the last thing you want to do is eat a heavy meal. Instead, we turn to crisp, fruity salads, light garden pastas with fresh veggies, seafood and citrus-based dishes. Oh, and don't forget the drinks, from iced coffee to cocktails.
