Hot-Weather Foods

by Katie Sweeney 5

It's the end of July and things are starting to heat up across the nation. When the weather is hot, I simply cannot stand to turn on the oven. I prefer to do the cooking outdoors on the grill.

I crave filling dinner salads that are full of vegetables and cheese, like a classic Cobb or Greek salad. Grilled seafood — shrimp, sardines, and clams — is also satisfying.

Since hot weather calls for its own breed of cooking, I'm wondering: What are your go-to dishes? What do you make when the temps are in the triple digits? Cold soups? Grilled corn? Ceviche? Chicken salad? Share with us below!
