During hot days, the last thing you want to do is come home to a hot kitchen. To help keep you cool, we've put together 30 no-cook recipes which means there's no need to turn on the oven.
Tips for making no-cook recipes delicious
1. It’s easy to whip up a no-cook meal if your pantry is well stocked with staples like canned salmon and tuna and legumes.
2. For maximum flavour and nutrition, make sure veggies used in no-cook meals are as fresh as can be.
3. Keep 'no-cook friendly ingredients' on hand in the fridge during summer for those 40°C+ days. Ingredients like bags of mixed salad leaves, kale slaw mixes, fresh herbs, and BBQ chicken.
