Summer meal ideas

[Becky61]

I love salad, & during the summer months i tend to eat everything with salad... Chicken & salad, pasta & salad, jacket potatos with salad etc. But, my OH hates it! He would have me cooking meat, veg, potatos & gravey aaaaaall the time!

I really am running out of ideas. I dont want to stand in the kitchen for hours when its so warm outside. I dont have a slow cooker (must invest as i hear great things about them!) I dont like cooking with loads of ingredients as money is tight. I just want some ideas on light summer meals (OH has an insanely huge appetite though). Anyone? Thanks!

Grilled fish and vegetables? BBQ is super easy and salads go nicely on the side. BBQ'd meat and vege, sweetcorn is awesome on the bbq. Grilled/bbq'd kebabs/skewers with vege, cheese or meat. Halloumi, zucchini and tomato is awesome on a skewer and grilled, you could make meat ones at the same time.

I love salads too, maybe your OH would eat salads if they had a bit more substance? Greek salad with feta cheese and olives? Or salad with white beans/chickpeas? Pasta salad with pesto?

We're not salad people either so in the summer have a lot of grilled meat with new potatos or sweet potatos.

Last night we had grilled chicken with a peri peri rub, new potatoes and carrots

Steak, chicken breasts or fish fillet marinate, then add onions, garlic, herbs & cook in the oven, in another tray roast some veggies serve your meat with his fav sauce & have you salad on the side.
