It’s officially summer 🌞 and we’re celebrating the season & rising temperatures with no-oven meals! These tasty, simple, and quick meal ideas use alternative ways of cooking for great lunch and dinner ideas when it’s too hot to preheat.

The ground beef cooks quickly on the stovetop, and the rest of the ingredients are fresh or canned! Our low sodium taco salad recipe is a great meal idea any night of the week & a family favorite.

Once you cook the pasta, all you have to do is toss it with fresh mozzarella cheese, chopped tomatoes, and a 5-minute pesto dressing! A cool and refreshing summer lunch or dinner, see the recipe here.

Want to add some protein? You can add low sodium grilled chicken breast or our favorite low sodium Instant Pot chicken… both would be great in this pasta salad!

Low Sodium Tomato Sandwiches with Low Sodium Gazpacho!

A summertime version of classic grilled cheese and tomato soup - our low sodium tomato sandwiches are light and refreshing, especially when paired with our 5-minute low sodium gazpacho recipe!

A lunchtime favorite - transform boiled eggs into a creamy and delicious egg salad! Serve as a sandwich, on lightly salted crackers, with lettuce boats, or on top of a salad. Get our low sodium egg salad recipe today!

A perfect recipe for those garden tomatoes - our low sodium tomato basil sauce is made in one pot on the stovetop, and tossed with your favorite pasta.

Our Low Sodium Clow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki!

Our low sodium teriyaki chicken is sweet, tangy, delicious, and SO easy! Add the ingredients, set to low or high, and in a few hours you have a wonderful dinner that’s ready. We love serving this over lo mein noodles or rice.

The slow cooker is a great summertime alternative to the oven, as you can cook tender and delicious chicken without any work :)
