Cold Dishes for Summer: What to Order When the Heat Hits Hard

When the temperature rises, the last thing you want to do is cook. Summer is the perfect season for fresh, chilled meals quick, easy, and ready to enjoy without any effort.

With Take Away Now, you can skip the stove and order cold dishes that are satisfying, delicious, and perfect for any time of day. Here are a few ideas to keep your summer cool and tasty:

1. Complete Salads
Not just lettuce. Think hearty salads with protein (chicken, tuna, egg, tofu), healthy carbs (quinoa, lentils, brown rice), seasonal fruit, and light citrus dressings.

2. Cold Pasta or Couscous Salad
A filling yet refreshing option. Look for combinations with veggies, pesto, cherry tomatoes, olives, and soft cheeses like feta or mozzarella.

3. Cold Wraps or Filled Baguettes Portable, simple, and packed with flavor. Go for fillings like hummus, grilled veggies, marinated chicken, or tuna. Great for the park, the office, or a relaxed day at home.

4. Ceviches and Poke Bowls
Fresh, light, and bursting with flavor. Ceviches with fish, lime, and crunchy veggies, or poke bowls with rice, proteins, tropical fruits, and mild sauces.

5. Fruit, Chilled Desserts, and Natural Drinks End on a sweet, refreshing note. Think yogurt with toppings, passionfruit mousse, cold fruit tarts, or fresh juices with ice.
