I'm looking for your best meals that require little to no cooking for days when turning on any kind of heat source sounds miserable.

Ina Garten has a Brussel Sprout Slaw and Turkey sandwich. It's so simple and tastes so much better than it sounds. Plus, it is easy to change it up with additions. I also think of gazpacho, but adding some chickpeas or other beans to make it extra filling. Adding feta is delicious too.

What do you all do to eat well when it is sweltering outside?

Tacos with leftover meat-stuff and homemade mexican cabbage 'slaw'.
My better half love a simple sandwich of heirloom tomato with a little adobo (salt) and swiss cheese.

While the last one requires cooking, it doesn't turn on the oven and is a great way to use eggplants when they come in season. We only use 1 teaspoon salt, and will use canned tomatoes if we don't have fresh. Also, I usually throw in a red bell pepper (or orange or yellow) because my paprika is standard instead of sweet and it wants a little sweetness.

The last one also sounds like it would be delicious cold the next day. And one burner is tolerable at the right time of day lol. Thanks for sharing, will definitely be trying that!
