Dinner When It's 90 Degrees Outside

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

When the temperature outside is doing the absolute most, turning on the oven feels like a personal attack. These are the recipes I reach for when it's too hot to cook - cold, quick, or close enough to no-cook that it barely counts.

	Chicken Caesar Salad Full meal in a bowl with homemade dressing. No oven, no fuss, done in about 15 minutes.

	Dill Pickle Pasta Salad Make it the night before and it gets better in the fridge overnight. The pickles do something really good here.

	Curried Chicken Salad Creamy, crunchy, a little sweet - eat it on bread, crackers, or straight from the bowl. No judgment.

	Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad Cold, creamy, and packed with flavor. Doubles as a side or a main depending on how hot it is.

	Mediterranean Orzo Pasta Salad Bright, herby, and filling enough to be dinner. Better cold, better the next day.

	Southwest Chicken Salad Chipotle ranch dressing, corn, black beans, avocado. This one holds up all week in the fridge.

💬 Hit reply and tell me - what's your go-to no-cook dinner when it's too hot to think?
