Learn more information about quick meals for dinner. In this article we'll discuss quick meals for dinner.

When it's hot, the last thing you want to do in the summer months is eat a heavy diet.  And turning on the oven? Forget about it!

Instead, we turn to  crunchy fruit salads, light garden pasta with fresh vegetables, seafood and citrus dishes . Wondering what these recipes are? 

 

Caesar Sandwich Club

Why eat Caesar salad in a bowl when you can eat it between two slices of bread? What we love about Garten's recipe is that there are pancetta. First, bake the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and olive oil in the oven, then leave the pancetta in the oven for 10-15 minutes until crispy. In a blender, mix the garlic and parsley, and after chopping them, add the anchovy paste, mustard, lemon juice and mayonnaise and blend again. Spread this paste on the halved ciabatta, add some dried tomatoes, parmesan, crispy pancetta and chicken pieces on top.

 

Grilled salmon sandwiches

Skip the chicken salad sandwich this summer and try grilled salmon sandwiches instead. Garten's recipe combines fresh salmon fillet grilled for 5 minutes on each side and topped with mayonnaise sauce, sour cream, white wine vinegar, basil leaves, fresh dill and capers.

 

Arugula with prosciutto and bora

Strips of prosciutto and pieces of bora on a bed of arugula, flavored with a mixture of vinegar, mustard, egg yolk and garlic? We'll eat all four servings at once, thanks!

 

Lemon chicken breast

Who could resist the juicy chicken breasts with white wine, lemon juice, oregano and thyme? And Garten's recipe is so easy that anyone can make it! Fry garlic for a minute in olive oil, then turn off the heat, add white wine, lemon peel and a little juice, oregano, thyme and a teaspoon of salt and pour into a baking dish. Place the chicken breasts on top of the sauce with the skin on top, smear them with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Arrange lemon slices on top of the chicken and bake for 30-40 minutes.

 

Greek plateau with appetizers

Are you expecting friends for dinner? Prepare this Greek plate with appetizers, which includes feta cheese, roasted red peppers, vine greens, hummus, pine nuts, olives, crispy cakes. It will only take you 15 minutes to set the plate, but if you have more time, you can marinate the feta cheese with thyme.

 

Ranch burgers

On weekends, when you light a grill, break the tradition and try something new. Place the minced beef in a large bowl and add the mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper, mix gently with a fork and shape into equal meatballs. Bake them on the grill, and instead of the traditional breads, you can lightly bake English muffins. Spread them well with mayonnaise, put the beef meatballs in them and cover generously with caramelized onions.

 

 

Ribbons with broccoli and peas

Buy fresh broccoli from the market and combine it with pasta ribbons and peas. The secret of this recipe? Cook the pasta in the same water you used to cook the broccoli. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the olive oil and add the garlic and a little lemon zest for 1 minute. Turn off the heat, add salt, pepper and lemon juice and pour over the broccoli, peas and ribbons. Mix well and sprinkle generously with parmesan and pine nuts if desired.

 

Corn and avocado salad

You can never eat too many salads in the summer, and this one is easy to prepare and is a great idea even for a side dish. In a large bowl, combine boiled corn kernels, diced avocado, tomatoes, red peppers, onions, jalapenos (beware of hot!) And lemon zest. For the dressing, mix lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and pour plenty.

 

Shrimp salad

This is certainly not your grandmother's summer salad recipe. First prepare the shrimp sauce: mix mayonnaise, mustard, a little wine, salt, pepper and dill. You can also add a little red onion, celery and lemon zest, then mix with the shrimp, which are pre-cooked in salted water with a little lemon and then peeled.
