No-Cook Dinners

A no-cook recipe is just as it sounds – a dish that doesn’t need any cooking. If you’re looking for something to make on a hot day, these no-cook meals are going to be your new best friend!

Low-Cook Recipes

These recipes require very minimal cooking, like making rice or quinoa, so they're still perfect for summer! They also don't require any reheating as they're best served cold.

Recipes Using Leftover Chicken

One of my secrets to easy no-cook summer dinners is using up leftover chicken I have in the freezer. Simply let it thaw in the fridge overnight before using it in these wraps and salads. You could also use rotisserie chicken in these recipes to make them even easier!
