kayell Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Last night I had Nicoise salad minus the potatoes. The only cooking was 4 minute microwave of the green beans. That's about all I'm up for with the heat index heading above 100F today and no AC. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayell Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 We've really had such a mild year so far, but this heat....Ugh. And of course, it's really the humidity. There is hope and more cool days in the near future at least. If we survive! I'm thinking I'll just thaw some shrimp and throw them on top of a huge heap of raw veg. Can't even bear to think of heating something long enough to cook a burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cysgr8 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I like making cucumber salad, chop up cucumbers into bite size pieces, add diced red onions, dill, S&P, some vinegar, and home made mayo. You could add tomatoes also. Chill and serve cold. I like to serve it with pulled pork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrustdc Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Chicken salad, tuna salad, shrimp salad - if you have them cooked already, easy as pie (but healthier than pie!!). We had a cold salad the other night that was really yummy: shrimp, avocado, mango & jicama with lime juice and olive oil. Add other spices to taste.

Sarah Milcetic Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I love to eat leftover meat with fermented veggies on hot days (eg, pickles, sauerkraut, radishes...) or salad with canned sardines. Lately I've also gotten into eating my chicken bone broth straight from the fridge, like a savory "jello." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAK911 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 @jrustdc That shrimp salad sounds wonderful. We tend to cook batches of meat once a week, and, when it's too hot to bother, we throw those on salads -- mixed greens with slivered almonds, shredded carrots, bell peppers, sliced avocado, and whatever else we have handy with a homemade vinaigrette of some kind. Chicken or shrimp with that is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn1 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I hear you on the heat thing. I live in Louisiana and it is hot! Here is something I made last week that I liked a lot. (You can sub canned salmon or roast chicken for the sardines.) Sardine Salad in Lettuce Wraps 1 can of sardines red grapes, halved celery, sliced pecans, chopped dollop of homemade mayo Mix it all together and wrap it up in bibb lettuce leaves. Yummy and cool!

bets55429 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 A new take on tuna salad! I know, it sounds weird, but it's actually really awesome served over a bed or arugula or lettuce. Plus, it's quick and easy. 1 can of tuna homemade mayo chopped pecans finely chopped jalepeno diced black olives salt & pepper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
