Some weeks, the idea of turning on the oven is simply not an option. This week's recipes require almost zero heat. We're talking cold noodle salads, fresh summer rolls, a shrimp bowl you barely have to think about, and a watermelon feta salad that is summer on a plate. Keep it cool in the kitchen and save the energy for enjoying the evening.

Fun Fact: Watermelon is approximately 92% water, which is actually how it got its name. What makes it especially clever as summer food is that it also contains electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, meaning it genuinely helps with hydration on hot days. It's essentially nature's sports drink in fruit form.

That's all from us this week. Hope it takes some of the "what's for dinner?" guesswork out of your week.
