I admit it: I do love a complicated recipe, and I love spending time in the kitchen. It’s quite simply who I am! But recently I’ve been enjoying simpler recipes. These simple recipes are also a great way to keep the kitchen cool on hot summer days. We have assembled over a dozen of our favorite deliciously easy, little-to-no-cook meal recipes for nutrient-dense meals.
First, we have the viral Tunacado Bowl, and below it, we have so many other recipes like our Greek Salad Wrap, my favorite Antipasto Salad, a Burrata Mortadella Sub, and so much more!
One of our favorites is this Tuna-cado rice bowl. It’s currently having a big viral moment. Frankly, I wasn’t a fan of this dish at first. But I made it for my friend Michelle, and she said it was the most satisfying thing she’s ever eaten, so I reconsidered.
This is a soul-satisfying salad. It’s perfect on a leisurely Sunday. It offers a bite of everything from delicious meats, cheeses, and greens, enhanced by a wonderful dressing.
As a gal who’s spent some time in Italy, I absolutely love mortadella as a food group. It’s pretty delicious on just about any sandwich, and for me it’s simply the best. My Burrata and Mortadella Sub is just one idea, but there are so many variations to try.
This is just one amazing reason to get a copy of my WSJ bestselling cookbook, which includes 100 more delicious recipes. You can practically make this without a recipe using jicama rounds topped with watermelon and tuna, with avocado crema. The perfect summer snack. It’s wonderfully simple to put together, and it’s so refreshing.
The key to my Tuna Treasure is to start with sushi-grade tuna. It’s a refreshing entree that’s wonderful for summer, and it’s filled with protein and fiber. By the way, if you can’t get sushi-grade tuna, try a tuna salad with avocado–it’s a lazy day sushi. Or see my Tuna-cado Bowl recipe below.
I love hummus and babaganoush, and I purchase mine locally from Chicago’s Middle Eastern Bakery because there is simply none better. I spread the hummus on a dish and add radish, cucumber, tomato, and a light dressing. The full recipe is on page 131 of my cookbook. If you don’t have my cookbook–and by the way, it’s worth it–here’s a link to a version we did on Instagram!
There’s nothing better in the summer than a big salad moment. This Green Cabbage Salad is a gorgeous one with orange, carrots, a spectacular Hoisin inspired dressing, and rotisserie chicken, which you can easily pick up at the grocery store. It is definitely a high fiber, high protein meal, and it’s very easy to bring and serve at a potluck. Be sure to save the bones of the rotisserie chicken for your next bone broth!
I love a Greek salad in every form, and I am absolutely a feta enthusiast. We have a local shop where we get the most amazing pita, and it’s easy enough to pick up the ingredients and wrap up your favorite Greek salad. What a wonderful Greek Salad wrap!
There’s no better time than summer to make a wonderful Greek Salad with feta, beautiful big tomatoes, olives, Marinated Red Onions, and fresh mint. If you want to add protein, use rotisserie chicken.
A Greek salad is spectacular when done vegetarian, and it’s even more delicious with shrimp. It’s easy enough to pick up some cooked shrimp at your local market or saute them yourself and make this Shrimp Greek Salad.

For me, there’s nothing more soul satisfying in the summer than combining a beautiful tomato and strips of crispy oven bacon for a sandwich. If you want your BLT to be special, it’s necessary to curate each and every ingredient. We love delicious, freshly toasted bread, greens, a perfect tomato, and high quality crispy oven bacon.
