How about No Cook Recipes?
AnnabelleMcB - July 18, 2008
I hate to turn on the stove or fire up the oven in the summer time. What are some helpful no-cook recipes and ideas?

I love a spinach, feta, candied walnuts and cranberry salad. Toss it with a champagne vinaigrette and it is perfect!

The candied walnuts are with either your baking products or with all the other packaged nuts in your local grocery store. The dried cranberries are in with the raisins and other dried fruit, but can be usually found in the salad and produce section. Now for the zing....the vinaigrette. That is 2 parts canola oil and 1 part champagne vinegar. You can also use apple cider which is just as good. Salt for taste and shake in sealed container. You can make as much as you want and just toss it over the salad and serve.

Tried and true, a spinach salad with candied pecans, cranberries, and a raspberry vinaigrette. I take fresh spinach, add some raspberry vinaigrette, then crush some candied pecans with a mortar and pestle so it's a mix of powder and large chunks (I don't use whole pecans because it tends to be difficult to get them on your fork, but crushed, they stick to the dressing), then sprinkle in some dried cranberries and toss.
