Two Low/No-Heat Dinners - RECIPES INSIDE

Too hot to cook? Temps seem to be way hotter than usual for this time of year, which is telling me that we are in for a long, hot, summer. I don't really realize how much I use my oven until it's 100 degrees outside...at which point, I do everything I can to avoid turning it on! So, we thought we'd send on two fantastic low/no-heat easy dinner recipes from our Summer, Simplified Meal Plan. The best part is that they go together - take a good look at the rollover notes for ideas on how to work smarter, not harder! RECIPE ONE MANGO COBB SALAD   This fresh twist on the classic Cobb Salad is perfect for summer! Try grilling a large batch of chicken breasts and then freezing them for future use or look for grilled chicken breast at the grocery store (Sam's Club and Costco have great options!) Serves 4-6 INGREDIENTS: 1 16-ounce package mixed greens 16 ounces grilled chicken breast  12 strips cooked bacon 4 hard-boiled eggs 1 avocado, sliced 2 ½ tablespoons shelled sunflower seeds 10-12 ounce package grape tomatoes ½ cup blue cheese crumbles  8 ounces Citrus Vinaigrette (see Thinking Ahead note) INSTRUCTIONS: Divide greens among 4-6 salad bowls, then divide the other ingredients evenly among the bowls. Top with Citrus Vinaigrette. GROCERY NOTE: Look for large packages of pre-cooked bacon at your favorite club store--it's much more affordable than pre-cooked bacon in the grocery store, lasts for a very long time, and is perfect for many of these recipes! THINKING AHEAD: Reserve half of the dressing for the Kosher Dogs with Tropical Slaw. * * * * * * * * * * *  RECIPE TWO: KOSHER DOGS WITH TROPICAL SLAW TROPICAL SLAW INGREDIENTS 8 ounces coleslaw mix ½ red onion, halved and thinly sliced 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple (serve any extra as a side dish or a snack) 1 cup chopped fresh mango ½ sliced red bell pepper 1 cup Honey Citrus Vinaigrette HOT DOGS 6-8 (or more) high-quality hot dogs (kosher dogs are always a safe bet) or your favorite chicken sausages 6-8 high-quality hot dog buns (King's Hawaiian Hot Dog Buns are always great) 6-8 slices Swiss cheese, cut in half on the diagonal 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced Instructions In a small mixing bowl, combine all the slaw ingredients. Set aside. Cook hot dogs as desired (stovetop or grill.) While they're cooking, line the buns with Swiss cheese. When done cooking, place the hot dogs in the buns and allow the cheese to melt slightly. Top with Tropical Slaw and, if desired, avocado. Serve immediately.. THINKING AHEAD You should have some reserved Honey Citrus Vinaigrette set aside from the Cobb Salad. Like what you see? (Or taste?) You'll love our Summer, Simplified Meal Plan.
