Incidentally, my co-workers from the Well desk here at The Times have answered a question I’ve always had: Is watermelon actually good for you? Spoiler: It is!

You could chill or pack up this chicly green dish from Andy Baraghani to eat later at a picnic or cookout, or you could just eat it right away for supper. Its hypnotic ****** comes from spinach and basil; its salty depth, from miso. Sugar snap peas give the whole thing crunch.

Yasmin Fahr whisks tahini with lemon, honey and olive oil for the marinade on this new chicken recipe, which you could cook on the grill, in a pan on the stove or in the oven. I endorse Yasmin’s suggestion for tucking the chicken into pita with avocado, cucumbers and feta to serve.

Readers are raving about this recipe from Ali Slagle, which is thrillingly simple for how good it is (and how versatile — tuck the shrimp into tortillas, scatter them over grains or noodles, toss them into salads, you get the idea). Always remember that if you don’t have a grill, the broiler is your friend.
