While I love cooking all year, from month to month and season to season, something happens in the summer. The sun beckons and inspires long walks in the park; dangling toes over refreshingly cool lake waters so prevalent where I live in the Pacific Northwest distracts me.

The sounds of happy people playing in the park, a cool breeze ruffling nearby trees—these are all that make me want to pack up my meals and head outdoors.

And then there are days when the weather is sticky, the sun is sweltering, and the thought of turning on the stove, oven, or even the grill isn’t appetizing in the least.

That’s when I turn to no cook recipes that are delicious, fresh, and easy, easy, easy!
