Summer is FINALLY upon us, and that means beach trips, sunny days, and lots of dining out! Restaurants are opening at full capacity with both indoor and outdoor seating, and are excited to welcome back diners.

To kick start our favorite season we have put together our top five easiest options to keep your summer menu simplified. Check out our list below and try them out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!

Balsamic Glazed Salmon with Brussel Sprouts

This fresh and healthy menu option is great choice for lunch or dinner. Satisfy your customers that are looking to eat out at a restaurant without all the guilt.

Fig & Prosciutto Panini

Paninis are a great vessel for flavor. As long as you have a good hearty bread as your base, you can fill that bad boy with just about anything. Combine sweet figs and salty prosciutto to create a panini that really makes the taste buds tingle!

Cali Crispy Chicken Sandwich

For well over a year fried chicken sandwiches have been dominating menus across the country, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Give a West Coast twist to this crispy classic by adding cool avocado and a creamy chipotle mayo.

Tropical Fish Tacos

Is it really Summer without freshly fried seafood? Perfectly prepared, light, and flakey fish, topped with a pineapple salsa, and garlic-lime crema. Need we say more?

Mediterranean Flatbread

This little number is loaded with crumbly feta cheese, salty Kalamata olives and juicy grilled chicken that will transport you to the coast of Greece. Good luck trying not to imagine the sun shining, waves crashing and the sounds of Dimotiki music all around you.

Creating these mesmerizing menu items is simple when you have the right tools. Ventless kitchen equipment like automatic fryers and high-speed ovens are ideal for existing businesses looking to add a foodservice program, or new businesses who are just starting to find their way. Not only are these products easy to use, but they are also huge money-savers! Our customers save on labor and avoid the steep cost of installing a hood or vent, which are required for traditional open fryers.
