Another food based holiday is around the corner, what are your plans? Any interesting departures? Anybody got family traditional foods they eat?

I'll be doing an Artichoke Fondue Dip as a snack for earlier in the day. For the main meal, definitely this Mustrad Cucumber Salad by Amy Thielan that I adore as a side, but not totally certain what else. I may end up just doing hot dogs since they are so easy and always tasty. But I am also looking for inspiration.

I'm looking for your best meals that require little to no cooking for days when turning on any kind of heat source sounds miserable.

Ina Garten has a Brussel Sprout Slaw and Turkey sandwich. It's so simple and tastes so much better than it sounds. Plus, it is easy to change it up with additions. I also think of gazpacho, but adding some chickpeas or other beans to make it extra filling. Adding feta is delicious too.

What do you all do to eat well when it is sweltering outside?
