Ideas for healthy hot weather meals?

How about a cold couscous salad. There are lots of different options like
courgette/Zucchini, aubergine/eggplant, onion, bell pepper.
Tomato, sweetcorn, olive.
Literally any sort of veg combo that works together.
Then you can add a flavour like, mint leaves, lemon juice, paprika or 5 spice, again there so many options.
You can pair it with all sorts of fish or meats or add something like pine nuts or feta to stay vegetarian.
The only thing to be watchful of is oil, adding a little olive oil is healthy but it’s very calorie dense so it has to be used sparingly.

That is a brilliant idea! Thank you!

i like to marinade chicken or beef in a vinaigrette of some sort for a couple hours, and grill it. Then slice it thinly and place over a salad using the same dressing. i add whatever i want to the salad to add to the flavors, textures and nutrition. From cheese to fruits and veggies. You can mix it up with different toppings and meats. Great with leftovers as well.

In summer's hottest weeks (or months) I keep a glass dish with a glass lid in the refrigerator filled with fresh, organic if possible non juicy vegetables that've been scrubbed, cut into bite size pieces, and sprinkled with a tiny bit of lemon or lime juice. I use lots of colours so that it looks apetizing - for ex., radishes, carrots, cucumbers, capsicum red and orange, celery, tiny salad turnips, and sometimes a few sliced olives or capers for a little salty extra bit.
I dip these into goat cheese, hummus, or peanut butter, or just eat them plain.

Also a big glass of whole milk with a few drops of vanilla makes a good dessert in summer.
