My Top Twelve Meals That Don’t Need Any (or very minimal) Cooking

It’s been so hot in Sydney this summer and I have had requests from clients who have run out of things to make for dinner that don’t require cooking

So I put this list together

Feel free to grab a bbq chicken or tin of tuna or salmon to add to the vego meals

Or a lovely crusty loaf of sourdough bread to mop up the dressing

Or perhaps, like me, you don’t feel as hungry in the heat and like to keep it light and don’t need to add a thing!

Enjoy 🙂

French Green Lentils with Tomatoes, Goats Cheese and Basil – use a tin of lentils in place of cooking lentils

Kale Slaw – actually I have to admit that I usually add tuna or chicken to this! Vegos can add a tin of cannellini beans or lentils

Spinach and Tahini Slaw (recipe at the very bottom of the page) – again add tuna, chicken, beans or lentils

Greek Salad with Chicken Avocado and Chickpeas – grab a bbq chicken for this one

Tuna and Cannellini Bean Salad

Beetroot Lentil Feta and Walnut Salad

Kale Quinoa Edamame and Avocado Salad – use one of those 90 seconds in the microwave brown rice and quinoa mixes – add chicken or tuna if you like

Marinated Bean Salad – admittedly you need to blanch some green beans for this – that will take you a whole 3 mins!

3 Minute Bean Burritos

Quinoa and Brown Rice California Rolls – again use one of those 90 second quinoa and brown rice mixes

Black Bean Tacos

then slaw

Cajun Chickpea Tacos

Skip the cauli and double up on the chickpeas for a super quick dinner that only needs about 3-4 mins of stove time

AND A BONUS….

Thai Fish Cakes served with one of these salads – okay, admittedly these do require you cook them for about 2 mins either side, but they are worth it as they are so delicious and such a lovely light meal, perfect in hot weather. Besides, you could always cook them outside on the bbq!
