Not a soul wants to be in the kitchen when the weather turns hot and humid.
These 10 dinner ideas require little prep & cooking, yet are flavorful and fun!
We are smack in the middle of a muggy heat wave here in the Midwest. We get all of the weather extremes - very hot Summers and very cold Winters. When it gets like this most of our cooking drive goes out the window. We just want something easy and cool!
I often get requests this time of year for easy Summer meals that require little to no actual cooking, so I gathered up my 10 favorites.
Everything from salads to sandwiches in this list!
This sandwich was inspired for all my vegetarian fans out there. A sub roll or baguette is hallowed out, smeared with onion and chive cream cheese, layered with tomatoes and cucumbers and topped with a dressed lettuce slaw. Need a bit more substance? Add crisp bacon!
This salad combines all of your favorite sweet and savory flavors. Juicy, ripe strawberries, salty crumbled feta cheese and a homemade warm bacon dressing that gets poured over crisp spinach leaves. Fresh and flavorful.
These are a family favorite - just 5 ingredients (corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, tortillas and thousand island dressing). I like to either give them a quick toast in the air fryer, in a skillet or wrap up with foil for a quick warm up in the oven. These can be taken on the go!
This easy recipe amps up the protein a bit more in your traditional egg salad by mashing up cottage cheese into the eggs (trust me, you'll never know it's there!). We like our egg salad pretty simple - chopped dill pickles & some of it's juice, salt, pepper, mayo, mustard, etc.
Just like your favorite appetizer at PF Chang's, here is my knock off. These can be eaten warm or cold, wrapped in a lettuce leaf. They make a great quick lunch or appetizer.
This salad has been at the top of the charts! Sweet air fried or grilled chicken tender coated in bbq seasoning and sauce, then chopped into a bowl of romaine, sweet corn, black beans and a honey bbq vinaigrette.
These fun, cold slider sandwiches are great for the pool! They can be wrapped up and taken on the go. An easy Caesar dressing holds all the ingredients together. Tons of flavor!
Make a batch of grilled cheese sandwiches for the family and then chop them up into bite sized pieces for the family on this fun salad! They are like croutons, but better.
Grab a rotisserie chicken from the deli and half the work is already done for this one. My simple chicken salad recipe is always loved by all. We love to eat it with crackers or on croissants.
I love making this one into a meal when my garden tomatoes and basil are bursting out of the garden. Those flavors merry so well together. Toast this one up on the grill or in the air fryer to keep the heat out of the kitchen.
Which one are you trying first?
I'd love for you to share which cool dinner idea you are making for your family. Be sure to tag me on socials (@sweetsavoryeats) and I'll share your photos!

ReplyDeleteThese ideas inspire you to rethink your everyday menu and add more seasonal vegetables, fresh combinations, and light sauces.

ReplyDeleteA friend recently mentioned a gaming platform that he had been using regularly, so I decided to check it out myself.

Compared with some crowded gaming pages, the login section felt easier to follow and less distracting during normal smartphone use.
