Haha, you beat me to it, Kat!
My only add-on to this thread would be that salads aren't the only cold dinner meal. My go-to this week has been cold leftover quiche! Call me weird, but I really like it sliced up cold.
I was going to start another thread about Heat-wave no-A/C faves; not necessarily limited to salads or meals. Here are my other ideas:
- SF Jello - I use the microwave to boil the cup of water.
- Iced tea - Make really strong tea (4 tea bags) in a mug in the microwave, let it steep and cool, pour over ice in a pitcher, add cold water/sweetener/lemon juice to taste.
- Iced coffee
- Yogurt and berries
- Smoothies with frozen berries, peanut butter, protein powder, pasteurized liquid eggs, yogurt... whatever..
- Lettuce wraps with whatever usual sandwich you'd have.
- Pork rinds with salsa and sour cream
- Cold noodle salads: either shirataki or spiralized zucchini. I like to make a glass noodle type of salad, or it works as any other pasta salad.
