6 Easy Summer Recipes From Celebrity Chefs

Calling all foodies! We caught up with celebrity chefs at the Food Bank for New York City's 30th anniversary Can Do Awards, and asked them to share their favorite summer recipes. From quick and easy salads to mouthwatering grilling recipes, here are six dishes you'll want to whip up this weekend.

1. Grilled Pizza

Celebrity chef Mario Batali's go-to quick pizza recipe: "Get a pizza dough from your local pizzeria. Knead it out flat, then toss it on your hot grill. Turn it over after about two minutes, then brush it with tomato sauce, and layer fresh mozzarella and basil from your garden." Presto!

2. Lemon & Garlic Grilled Veggies

Talk show host Rachael Ray says the grill can make anyone an awesome chef. "Grilled anything doesn't taste too bad with lots of citrus and garlic and lots of veggies! I mean, it's an easy season for everybody to look like a rock star when it comes to cooking."

3. Crab Toast

Iron Chef, Geoffrey Zakarian suggests cooking what's in season for the freshest results. "We're coming into crab season. Soft shell crabs just came out, as well as white asparagus. Crab toast!"

4. Grilled Peaches

The Chew cohost Carla Hall says all it takes is a piece of fresh summer fruit to crank out an impressive dish. "Grill some peaches with a little mop of rosemary, then drizzle honey on top. Boom Shakalaka!"

5. Shrimp Stuffed Avocado

Food Network TV host Sandra Lee loves this quick summer recipe: "Halve an avocado, then fill it with bay shrimp topped with champagne vinaigrette." How easy is that?

6. Pecorino Salad

Host of the Food Network's Secrets of a Restaurant Chef Anne Burrell recommends a simple salad. "All you need is a little asparagus, red onion, and some pecorino--all raw and chopped. You can quickly put it together with a red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing."
