8 no-cook recipes to keep you and your kitchen cool - The Washington Post

It’s sweltering out there, and no, we don’t feel like adding to the problem with a hot oven or stovetop. When it’s hot outside, it’s time to rely on cooling no-cook meals and snacks to get you through the day.

And we mean no-cook! None of these recipes involves even a little cooking — not a toaster, not a single pan, nothing to ignite any unwanted heat. Of course, if you want a crispy slice of toast or some toasted nuts, that’s up to you, but all of these recipes are designed to taste delicious without needing any heat.

Speedy Homemade Hummus. Sometimes the answer to a hot day is just to eat cold, crunchy veggies with a hearty dip. All you need is five minutes to whip this hummus together. Want a different dip? Try making Sunflower Ranch Dressing or Le Grand Aioli (the aioli is often served with cooked potatoes and green beans, but you can forgo and eat with raw veggies instead).

Cacao Chia Pudding. Here’s to hoping you have ice cream or sorbet in your freezer, but you can also make a creamy, protein-packed, chocolate pudding from chia seeds to satisfy your sweet tooth. Not feeling chocolate? Make Berry Cloud Chia Pudding instead.
