Feeling the heat? Here are 9 easy + refreshing recipes that don’t require a stove or oven:
1. White Bean Salad (10-Minute)
(NEW!) I’m enjoying the simplicity of this versatile meal this summer. It’s satisfying yet quick & easy to make. See the full post for variation & substitution ideas.
2. Restaurant-Style Blender Salsa
This salsa is a weekly occurrence in our home. (And our garden-grown jalapeños are almost ready to join the party.) It’s so refreshing and tastes similar to the ones you’d find in a Mexican restaurant.
3. Southwestern Chopped Salad with Creamy Cilantro Dressing
One of the more popular recipes on the site - fresh, crisp, and flavorful!
4. Strawberry-Lime Watermelon Slush
A summertime refreshment that’s naturally sweetened and made with whole food ingredients. (Can also freeze in popsicle molds!)
5. Avocado Veggie Sandwich
An ultra-fresh sandwich with no cooking involved (except lightly toasting your bread if desired).
6. Ultimate Greek Chopped Salad
A flavorful Greek-inspired salad with chickpeas and tangy vinegar-oregano dressing.
7. Chickpea Avocado Mash with Lemon
Ready in 5 minutes! Great on sandwiches, pitas, crackers, or straight from the bowl.
8. Chunky Monkey Protein Smoothie
This luxurious & chocolatey smoothie has over 20 grams of plant protein (without the use of protein powder!)
9. Summer Blast Salad with Avocado
This salad is summer in a bowl! (I often use canned organic corn in place of cooking a fresh ear to make it completely non-cook.)
BONUS: This Easy Peanut Sauce is one of my favorite recipes and fantastic with fresh spring rolls. (It’s no-cook except for heating a bit of water to whisk together the sauce.)
