Dinner on a hot day

[Margo2023]

Help me decide what to have for myself only for dinner this evening in the garden. I eat anything but had monkfish last night so not fish this eve. And something that doesn't take too long to prepare so I can enjoy this lovely sunshine

I love a mixed leaf and pepper salad with a cheesy baked potato on a day like today

Orzo feta salad and you'll have some left for lunches this week www.tamingtwins.com/orzo-pasta-salad/

I'd have a Greek salad with rotisserie chicken

I did a chicken on the rotisserie last night we had bbq so whilst we sat back and digested I cooked the chicken, it’s in the fridge to have with salad tonight. Tomorrow I’m thinking pasta maybe. Or maybe jackets in the airfryer with tuna mayonnaise and salad. I love quick easy things in this weather, stir fry’s / wraps jackets loads of salad

Bottle of wine with a glass. Possibly with a starter of gin and tonic.

and a large bag of crisps

I'm having a billionaire magnum

I baked a Camembert in my air fryer and had crusty bread with it plus a mixed leaf salad and left over chickpea and pepper salad from last night with lots of garlic and lemon juice

We're having home made tapas and wine in the garden in a bit. Sounds very civilised but it's mainly easy bits from the fridge

We’re having fajitas. Salt and pepper chicken goujons from Iceland done in the slow cooker and I’ll stir fry peppers and red onion. Will add salsa, creme fraiche and cheese and serve on corn tortillas with nachos and corn on the cob.

Toulouse sausages and potato salad

Chicken shawarma and spicy rice.

Chicken Caesar salad (with extra anchovies) and crunchy croutons.

Salad & cold vegetarian sausages

most nights (just for me)

watercress & rocket base
chopped up (not too small)& thrown on top

• pepper (buy mixed so whatever colour comes out first!!)
• radish
• cucumber
• silverskin pickled onions
• Baby pickled gherkins
• Small tomatoes in half

ground pepper & ground salt good quality olive oil

vegan mayo or garlic dip sometimes

& a variety of vegetarian sausages (cauldron
hot or cold), cheese, handful of nuts

occasionally as a real treat some basilica vinegar (but very carby)

I have delegated a member of family to put a chicken in the oven. With salad later.

My invitation got lost in the post, did it?

Sounds delicious. Just my favourite type of dishes.

We have Thai fish cakes with a rice noodle salad and Asian slaw. I made the fishcakes first thing before it got too hot so will just reheat.

Thanks all! Did Greek salad with chicken. @StiffyByngsDogBartholomew the wine is open! Also love the Camembert idea. I'm going to work through this list this week, saves me having to think of what to eat each night.
