Who wants to stand in front of a hot stove with this wonderful warm weather we’ve been having?  To further enjoy these summer nights, I’ve rounded up some favorite recipes to keep cool in the evening.  Naturally, there are a lot of salads on the list.  These are tried and true and delicious!

Kale Salad with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette courtesy of Damn Delicious:

Soba Noodle Salad with Miso Dressing from Sage Recipes:

Avocado and Grilled Corn Salad from Authentic Suburban Gourmet:

Watermelon, Feta & Arugula Salad from Popsugar

Pair the kale or watermelon salad with a Bruschetta Bar, like this one from What’s Gaby Cooking, for a heartier meal.

For dessert, we prefer to go out for some ice cream!  Here’s a round-up of our favorite local spots.
