Listen, I live in Texas and it gets HOT! When I reach this point in the year where the outside temperature is easily in the 90s, I’m not interested in heating up anything unnecessarily. So, this week we’re making recipes that require minimal prep but still bursting with flavors you’ll enjoy. Some recipes have elements to cool you down, like fresh fruit and slaws, but all of them will make your tastebuds sing! A few of these recipes can be streamlined by using pre-cut produce from the fruit and veg aisles. For Wednesday’s Jeweled Rice Salad, look for a trail mix without chocolate to minimize the number of ingredients you need to purchase. Even if you don’t live in an area where the summer reaches record highs, you’ll appreciate the refreshing dishes headed your way this week.
