What cold, no-cook, straightforward dinner are you having tonight?

[Hephebe]

I'm planning tomato and basil salad, some sort of salad with cold chicken/yoghurt/apple/walnuts, and a shedload of melon. And Lidl mini magnums for pudding!

I am getting a teeeny bit sick of tomatoes though so any other inspo for the rest of the summer is welcome...

CHicken caesar salad. I already boiled the eggs yesterday and cooked the chicken, so just need to cook the bacon.

Tomato and mozzarella salad with fresh buttered baguette.

Mozzarella and Tomato Salad with a crusty roll 😋

Place marking for inspiration! So sick of prepping food in this weather

@Dox9 and I do not live in the same house! 😂

I am going to make scrambled eggs in the microwave I will add some spinach, to make it fancy, it is so very hot. I had water and ready salted crisps for lunch to re hydrate

I made a potato salad yesterday and have got some cooked chicken to have with it, along with a green salad of lettuce/radish/cucumber/sugar snap peas (I don't really like raw tomatoes so don't put them in salads).

Also having this but eggs and bacon in it is new to me, I just do the Delia one and cook buttermilk chicken pieces to go with.

We're having this

Also so bored. I don't mind cooking but it's too hot for hot food.

We have been eating a lot of roast chicken salads. And tomatoes.

Tonight is flash fried lamb steak with cous cous. And tomatoes and cucumber!!

Cold rice noodle salad with grated carrot, shredded red cabbage and spring onion, roasted peanuts. Served with an Asian dressing of lime, chilli, fish sauce, sugar and water.

Meats, cheeses, and olives in the garden with a beer

Lunch was potted shrimps on toast because I’d just been to Booths. Daylight robbery for such a small tub but they are sooo good.

Tea is grilled lamb koftas, home made tabbouleh and tzatziki on flatbreads after my swimming session.

DH has chicken slices, coucous leftovers from last night, mixed salad, plus either boiled egg/beef slices, tuna or cheese.

I've got cold mackeral and mixed salad. Just been wondering what else to add - maybe some cheddar and walnuts - oh, and prosecco with strawberries before or after (watching tennis, that's my excuse).

Gazpacho

Ready to eat salmon with a salad. Had flatbreads for lunch with a feta, tomato and red pepper dip. No cooking needed, just a food processor.

Tuna salad ,a baguette and then Greek yoghurt for pudding with strawberries .I only like having salad on hot days so at the moment it is a case of finding something that goes with a salad. I have lost about half a stone. I need to get a belt as my jeans are at the stage they are almost falling down. There are some advantages to having a hot spell.

Made potato salad yesterday. Will make salad. Crusty bread. Tesco tortilla, cold cuts deli ham and salami, Camembert. Add hard boiled eggs.

Watermelon salad with Wensleydale and beetroot

we had something like this last night but with additional galangal, lemongrass, garlic, lime leaves and soy (vegan), plus peanut butter and coconut. So basically bang-bang salad. It was SO good and just what i was craving to eat in the garden.

Not quick exactly, but will be next time as i'll know what i'm doing and will use the processor to julienne everything.

Bread fingers, carrot, pepper, cucumber and other veg sticks with a humous dip.
I have left other falafel as well

I don't follow a recipe but have made it with boiled eggs and bacon for years and I'm sure I've had it in restaurants like that too. At the very least with bacon 🤔

I was starting to think I'd somehow gone off piste along the way, but I've found several recipes, so hopefully I haven't gone completely mad.
