I know that this is still "warm" food, but I like grilled things in the summer. Like chicken and hamburgers.
I am doubting this helped, sorry.
best is fresh fruit salads
When you make chicken make extra, it's good leftover and cold. Pasta salads are good too, just throw in some leftover chicken or pepperoni or lunch meat chopped up.
What about cold meat such as ham or leftover roast meat. You can still have your salads but don't have to be stuck outside at the bbq.
Or a frittata or quiche served cold. You can make it while it is cooler inside then serve it cold at dinner time.
This frittata recipe would have to be my favourite but their are heaps of different ones,
salmon and dill frittata
6 eggs
1/2 C cream
1 t finely grated lemon rind
1 small red onion, thinly sliced.
1/2 C fresh chopped dill
2 T drained baby capers
200g canned salmon (smoked salmon is also nice for a treat)
Preheat oven to moderate. Oil a 20cm cake pan and line with baking paper. Whisk eggs, cream and rind in a bowl. Combine other ingredients and layer in pan with eggs. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until set.
