What are your favorite no-cook/low-cook recipes for summer? (beehaw.org)

I'm looking for your best meals that require little to no cooking for days when turning on any kind of heat source sounds miserable.

Ina Garten has a Brussel Sprout Slaw and Turkey sandwich. It's so simple and tastes so much better than it sounds. Plus, it is easy to change it up with additions. I also think of gazpacho, but adding some chickpeas or other beans to make it extra filling. Adding feta is delicious too.

What do you all do to eat well when it is sweltering outside?

Onigiri! (Rice balls.) My favorite type is tuna, and they’re a great way to use leftover rice. If you’re very lazy like me, you can even skip the whole ball aspect. Just dollop tuna w/ mayo on some rice, cut up some nori over the top (or sprinkle furikake), and you’re done!

I do a similar thing. it's essentially an open face onigiri in a bowl with leftovers like sliced cucumber, red peppers, celery, avocado, tuna mayo, furikake and pickled ginger (if we have any). I also like to put unagi sauce on top with sesame seeds.

pretty versatile and tasty. I also like to make a breakfast version with eggs and bacon.

I also do something similar, basically california roll in a bowl with sushi rice, krab, avocado, carrots, and cucumber.

That sounds delicious! I will definitely have to try some of those additions.
