After a season of beautiful weather, long nights and relaxing times spent with friends and family, it's hard to say goodbye to summer. We weren't ready for the season to end either, so we pulled together some of our most delicious recipes to celebrate late summer's amazing tastes. They're ideal for that last picnic, cookout or weekend at the beach.

These recipes will put the treasures from your garden or the farmer's market to great use. Summer produce shines in these dishes, many of which can be made a day or two in advance. Mix and match dishes from the different sections to create your own fantastic summer send-off!
