Healthy Chicken and Cucumber Salad Recipe and More No-Cook Recipes
It’s a myth that you can easily fry an egg on the sidewalk in hot weather, yet it still feels as if you could do that here in New York today. The temperature is reaching 100 degrees, which is my cue to stay away from the sidewalk, the oven and, really, the kitchen altogether. I’ll pop some bread in the toaster or boil water for rice or pasta, but that’s about it for anything that involves the actual transfer of heat.

If you, too, are looking for no-cook dinner ideas, we’ve put together a recipe collection here, and I’ve picked five recipes for you that I’d call “low-cook,” most requiring a small amount of stove time but not more than that. And if you’re OK to light the grill, here are recipes for you.
