Easy 4-Ingredient Fruit Tarts
Yoly
Upside-down puff pastry tarts are a viral sensation and we can see why. They are easy to make and customize to your liking. Nicole McLaughlin uses pears in this recipe but you can swap in your favorite fruit and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a simple, satisfying dessert that's ready in no time.
Smash Burger Taco
By now we are no strangers to smash burgers, but the smash burger taco trend is one I wish I knew all my life. I've made these Smash Burger Tacos twice already in May myself, so I'm happy to know others are seeing what all the fuss is about. A review from Leanne can back me up: "So delish and so easy!"
1-Ingredient Shaved Ice

While this isn't exactly a recipe, it pretty much is—the name says it all. Simply grate your favorite frozen fruit with a microplane or other fine grater and you have the dessert of summer. The possibilities are endless! "TikTok has done it again, you gotta try this one," says Allrecipes Nicole McLaughlin in the video.

A great way to kick off summer (or any season really) our Best Chicken Salad is the perfect portable meal for summer. Nanette B Smith agrees: "I love this chicken salad. It's a great twist on the traditional chicken salad with the toasted almonds!"
Brazilian Lemonade
As the recipe says, "Looking for a refreshing summer drink...? Look no further...!" This frothy, cold beverage actually uses whole limes which get blended together with ice and sweetened condensed milk for a refreshing, sweet treat. Thanks, Allrecipes community, I've found my next drink to try!
Mexican Street Corn Dip
According to creator Ashley Wellner's Kitchen, this recipe is "[a] great use for sweet summer corn" perfect for serving with tortilla chips. You can use fresh or frozen corn for a fun dip to serve at your next barbecue. If you ask us, we'll take any spin on Mexican elote.

Not only is this pasta dish quick and easy to make, but apparently it's also worthy of a proposal according to creator and Allrecipes Allstar thedailygourmet. Create a creamy sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and bacon to pile on chicken and pasta and you'll earn your way into anyone's heart.
Easy Popcorn Chicken
These bite-sized chicken nuggets are easier to make than you might think. And this recipe will help you on your way to a dinner that is sure to be a hit. Save yourself a trip to the drive-thru by making nuggets at home this season.
