It’s 95° and the last thing I want to do is turn on my oven. Same? These are 10 dinners I actually make when it’s too hot to function — and not a single one requires an oven or standing over a stove.
The secret: rotisserie chicken, canned tuna, canned salmon, and chickpeas are your best friends in the summer. Stock your fridge with those four things and you can make a different no-cook dinner every night of the week.
My top 3 from this list: 🐟 Salmon Stuffed Avocados — 18g protein in 5 minutes 🐔 Pesto Chicken Salad — 48g protein using rotisserie chicken 🍤 Spring Roll Salad — 37g protein, tastes like takeout
