Corn Salad with Hazelnuts, Pecorino, and Mint

This corn salad from Bon Appetit was a huge hit last weekend when Sarah was in town. Sadly, it takes quite a bit of prep (blanching the hazelnuts?!). I would probably double it next time I make it, and just cook the corn inside instead of the grill. Chopping the mint and tarragon takes some time, but it really is a delicious side dish.

Ricotta and Spinach Frittata With Mint

This recipe from the NYT is simple, fast, pretty healthy and tasty. I would add more mint as I didn't taste it at all. I also didn't steam the spinach but used fresh spinach, and a lot less of it. This is not a culinary masterpiece, but good to keep in mind when you need something easy and relatively healthy.
