- Seven Layer Salad
Salads are healthy to be taken in summers because it helps to re-energise the body. The seven-layer salad is a reinvention of the Midwestern classic salad, which consists of lettuce, peas, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers. The salad is dressed with a very creamy and tangy dressing, which makes it, even more delicious. The best way to serve this salad is to keep it overnight so that it is fresher.
- Baked Parmesan Tomatoes
Having just a simple tomato can be boring, but it can be turned into something exciting with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese cooked in a drizzle of olive oil. Parmesan baked tomatoes are safe and it can be taken alone, or the tomatoes can be sandwiched between slices of whole-wheat country bread.
- Zucchini Rice Casserole
Rice casserole is a fantastic dish with lots of cheese in it, and when the rice is baked, the cheese spreads to the entire rice casserole making it soft and fluffy. Brown rice should be tried out in this case with the use of zucchini flowers for mild flavours. Pork sausages can be given along with the rice for baking to get the taste of meat. It is mandatory to preheat the dish before serving it.
- Peach Frozen Yoghurt
Yogurt helps to help the stomach cool during summers and this summer; you can try out an interesting way of preparing yoghurt. Keep your yoghurt frozen so that it sets properly and then added peaches or berries in it and get the flavour of ice cream without the use of an ice cream maker.
- Rustic Berry Tart
You can try out this different kind of tart in your home this summer. This is a layer of almonds placed beneath the berries. The almonds help to thicken the juices of the berries, the crust does not become cloggy, and you get the required crunch in the crust. The flavour of the berries along with the almonds is quite intense, and the shape of the tart can be according to your likings.
- Macaroni Salad
Macaroni is old fashioned, but it can be given a twist with pickle, diced ham and jarred pimientos. This recipe is quite simple where you have to make macaroni and on top of it, put chopped celery, carrot, onions and the rest and give it a good mix. Little mayo or cream can be added to the dressing and noodles can be added to the salad to make it extra tasty and healthy.
- Tuna Burgers
Take some tuna and turn it into something new by putting it inside a burger and making it a zesty tuna burger. Take good whole-wheat hamburger bread; cook the tuna on low flame until it gets the golden brown colour. Put cheese on the first layer, keep the tuna and keep tomatoes and spinach as the products of the burger and there you get the famous tuna burger. Sweet fried potatoes or broccoli can be maintained as substitutes on the plate.
- Tilapia and Summer Vegetable Packets
One of the best way to grill vegetables is by making summer packages where you keep the vegetables and fish together in foil and leave it to grill. Upon perfect grilling, you will get a tender and juicy fish, which is damn tasty. This dish can be mixed with olives and capers for a Mediterranean style.
These are some of the excellent dishes to try out this summer! Do not wait and get your kitchen ready.
