DMKC Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I am getting a little tired of hot and heavy meals. Does anyone have recipes for light cold food, other than salads? FYI - I am not fond of avocados Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted July 29, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 29, 2016 This has been discussed a tonne. Google "Whole30 brown bag", "Whole30 picnic", "Whole30 road trip" and "Whole30 cooler" for lots of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted July 29, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2016 There's some ideas here. One thing I like to do when it's a zillion degrees outside is grill chicken and maybe some kind of beef (steaks, skirt steak/fajita meat), and make some hard boiled eggs, and then make several different salads, but not like your typical lettuce-y salads. Things like this broccoli salad, this Turkish salad, these cucumber noodles -- make a couple that will last several days, and then midweek you may need to make some others, just so you don't end up with any getting soggy before you eat them. I usually include some kind of potato salad or even just boiled potatoes that I toss with some olive oil and herbs and eat cold. Then I can just grab some protein and two or three scoops of whichever vegetables sound good for lunch or supper without having to cook a lot throughout the week. I know you said no salads, but to me, these aren't really salads, they're just vegetables that happen to be cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whole30 Certified Coach littleg Posted August 5, 2016 Whole30 Certified Coach Share Posted August 5, 2016 My favorite. http://www.greenkitchenstories.com/mango-mint-marinated-zucchini-spaghetti/ I also eat a lot of my food cold. Even as a kid - leftovers were always cold. Weird. So you can do that too My breakfast frittata, beef enchilada, creamed spinach... my usuals for leftovers. All cold.
