Macaroni and tuna salad (ingredients = elbow macaroni, tuna, mayonnaise, diced dill pickle, pickle brine, black pepper).
shareMaybe not the most filling or even healthy . But i'll have a cold V8 and a samllpack of un salted crackers. Also helps save some money
sharePicnic foods!
Go fancy with the salads and sandwiches.
Salad nicoise, Waldorf salad, Caesar salad, Chef salad, Pressed Italian sandwiches
Fruit salad, sorbet
Sandwiches.
Panzanella salad - tomato-bread salad which is ideally made with homegrown tomatoes.
Italian tuna-bean salad, made with tuna packed in oil.
With cold watermelon or grapes for dessert.
No cooking! Cooking makes my apartment heat up!
this sounds good.
shareDefinitely look up recipes for panzanella and tuna-bean salad, which are about the simplest no-cooking healthy meals on the planet. I mean there's really nothing to panzanella except tomatoes and stale crusty bread, and if you want to add a bit of shallot or herbs or other veg, then that can be great, but if you want to just chop some tomatoes and stale bread and add salt, pepper, and olive oil, that can be enough.
The tuna-bean salad can be as simple as a can of tuna (in oil) and a can of white beans, although I like to add a bit of red onion, herbs, and pepper. You don't need salt, with high-sodium canned food.
Anything you personally find refreshing. For me that's green salads, sushi, grilled fish, semi-frozen fizzy drinks, cold grapes, corn on the cob and tomato soup.
