This is certainly not a recipe...lol...but when it's hot out, I like to buy the ready-made salads at Safeway. They're not bad and I don't have to cook. And, if I'm really lazy, I don't even put it into a serving bowl. The plastic bowl that it comes in works just fine. If I want to get fancy, I just add a couple of veggies to the salad, but it's not really necessary. We had the Asian salad last night.
Another idea is to boil up a whole box of pasta, cool and keep in the fridge for noodle salads s/a sesame noodles.
