For many people, one of the barriers to eating healthy is cooking – especially on hot summer days when turning on the stove is out of the question. Understandable, for sure! But, there’s no reason to let this get in the way of preparing satisfying healthy meals.
Skip the fast-food drive thru. Forget about calling for take-out. With a little prep and a few basic ingredients, you can get a healthy dinner on the table without ever turning on the stove.
Check out these easy summer meal ideas – no cooking required.
Avocado Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad (no mayo)
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon dill relish
- 2 (4 ounce) cans high quality tuna fish (I like Wild Planet)
- 1 celery stalk, minced
- ½ small red onion, minced
- Juice from ½ of a lemon
Directions
In a medium bowl mash the avocado; add Greek yogurt and stir until smooth.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and relish to avocado mixture and stir until combined.
Add tuna, red onion, and celery to the bowl and mix together.

TIP: Make a complete meal by serving on a big bed of lettuce greens with a slice of your favorite crusty bread (preferably whole wheat).
