Easy No Cook Recipes

Here are quick no-cook recipes for hot summer days, easy weeknight meals, or those times when you simply want to make dinner without cooking. The quintessential no-cook meal – salads – are easily prepped and tossed without ever having to turn on the stove. My favorite, No Mayo Coleslaw is crunchy and delicious. And just so happens to be made with vegan, egg-free dressing, too.

But when I am in need of no-cook summer meals, I always make Tomato Mozzarella Salad that is just as enjoyable to look at as it is to eat.

Need a few no-bake healthy snacks you can grab on-the-go? These Homemade Breakfast Bars packed with a generous amount of fruit and nuts will do the trick. I like to think of them as the best no-bake baking project during a lazy afternoon.

Whether you need raw food lunch ideas, dinner ideas when itโ€™s hot or no-bake treats, these are the best recipes that require no cooking. And when I say no cooking, that certainly doesnโ€™t mean no flavor!
