Anyway, unless you are down under, summer has probably hit you smack dab in the sweat glands and the idea of cooking makes you ill and causes early signs of heat stroke.
In honor of that lovely picture, here is a collection of salad recipes courtesy of my email subscriptions!
Sweet and Tangy Four Bean Salad from Better Homes and Garden (though this involves some boiling a few hours before serving) Two servings and you are rocking with the protein of a meaty meal!
Greek Pasta Salad also thanks to BHG (also involves boiling)
Grilled Greek Potato Salad from Taste of Home (I love the idea of grilling it because the grill will leave my house cool!)Chinese Slaw from the one and only Hungry Girl
Chunky Chicken Salad also thanks to Hungry Girl
Shrimp, Mango, and Avocado Salad again from Hungry Girl (UM, wow - yes, please!!!)(Actually, Hungry Girl's new book has an entire chapter on no-cook meals!)
Women's Health has provided SIX interesting salad recipes here! (Shrimp and Feta Tabbouleh? Yes!)Fruit Salads:
Melon and Grape Salad courtesy of Taste at Home - it's simple and sweet. Gotta love it!
Apple Slaw from Hungry GirlDon't think that all salads are health-friendly!
Check out these no-no's courtesy of Eat This, Not That
HAPPY NO-COOKING!!!
Enjoy your summer cooking :)
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo cold here right now.... burr!!
Tara, you should try ratatouille! It's a GREAT cold weather dish that you can make ahead and freeze. Google some recipes and tell me which one you try - most of the calories come from whatever cheese you choose to add (if any) and it's GREAT with grilled chicken!
