Shine Supper Club: What's Your Favorite No-cook Dinner?
You know when it's so hot you just want to eat an ice cream cone in a walk-in freezer? Welcome to August. Days like that, I'd rather fry an egg on the sidewalk than turn on the oven. That's why this month we're asking you to share your favorite No-Cook Dinners.

My fix for lazy, hot summer days is a Kitchen Sink Salad. I see what's in the fridge and cabinets: a head of red cabbage, shallots, leftover grilled asparagus, tomatoes, a hard-cooked egg, feta, cooked grains, rotisserie chicken, romaine hearts, Finn-Crisps (my favorite crouton substitute), sunflower seeds, canned salmon. Then I try to put together a symphony of complementary flavors and textures: crisp greens, creamy cheese, cooked vegetables. It all goes into a big bowl, where I squeeze in some lemon juice, drizzle in some olive oil, and call it a day.
But truth be told, when even chopping feels too daunting, my idea of heaven is a tomato sandwich.
