In the warm seasons, keeping your cuisine light and fresh is a prerequisite. The last thing you want is to feel heavy or over-stuffed when it's humid and hot outside. Here are one or two light summer recipes that are extremely easy to make and will fill you up although not make you feel heavy or slow.
Baked Kale Chips
Everybody loves a good crunch (or to trick yourself by creating something that seems like junk food). Baked kale chips are the ideal crunchy yet still healthy snack that's perfect for hot weather. Take away the stems of your kale leaves and cut into 1 inch bites. This may leave you with 1 or 2 cups of raw kale. Make sure to clean and dry completely.
Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and 3 cloves of minced garlic and spread over a cookie sheet. Put it into a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, tossing it halfway thru. Add some parmesan cheese and put it into the oven for 3 minutes (or until the cheese is crispy). Scoop onto a plate with a disposable towel over it (to catch the leftover oil) and serve at room temperature. These kale chips are light and airy but still are salty and satisfy that fast food craving.
Dill Chilled Salmon
Fish is a healthy protein to eat during the summer seasons, but a hot meal is not invariably what you may be craving. This dish is particularly simple to prepare ahead, and since it's a chilled dish, it is refreshing and tasty.
Heat your cooker to 350 degrees. You'll need 1 or 2 private sized filets of salmon with the skin left on. In a bowl, mix together dried dill, Dijon mustard, a bit of mayo, and 3 cloves of minced garlic. To prep your filet, wash it, dry it, and cover with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put it on a baking sheet and smother in your dill mixture. Cook for 15 minutes dependent on the thickness of your filet. Put it in the fridge till cool. Spatter with fresh dill to serve. You can serve it on it's own or with bread.
Creamy Yogurt Fruit Salad
This is an easy and refreshing fruit salad which will satisfy your sweet tooth. Cut up strawberries, apples, grapes, and fresh pineapple and throw into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix together fat free vanilla yogurt, honey, and lemon. Toss your fruit softly with your yogurt blend. Splatter with fresh mint. This is easy to make, and you can substitute your favourite yogurt flavours and fave fruit in.
