We’ve hit the point in the summer when the last thing I want to do is heat up the kitchen.   These are five of my favorite cool summer recipes.  They are some of my go to dishes after a fun day when I want something delicious and satisfying but cool.  Each one is a favorite enjoyed by my whole family. I’m working on some new recipes for the Fall that I can’t wait to share!

Happy Summer!

Mediterranean Salad with Rotisserie Chicken – I grab a rotisserie chicken on the way home from the pool for this one.

Watermelon Gazpacho – You can serve this in a bowl as a main dish or in shooter glasses as an appetizer.

Traditional Ceviche – This recipe is a favorite make-ahead dish!

Avocado Bar – This is a fun build-you-own meal.  You can also add rotisserie chicken or ground beef you brown in a skillet.

Chilled Cantaloupe Soup with Tart Raspberry Drizzle – This is light and so refreshing!

Quinoa Edamame Lettuce Wraps – Not just for a meatless Monday.  This is the most requested dish from my youngest daughter!
