- Today's healthy summer dinner ideas
are fresh, delicious, and family approved.
Now whether you choose to cook these in the kitchen,
or fire up the grill to cook some of the ingredients,
these recipes give you more time for what really matters,
family, daytime trips, and pool time.
I'm going to be sharing with you some light summer meals,
some family friendly meals,
some no cook, assembly style, super easy.
And of course, some side dishes that you can whip up
if you're grilling up a bunch of proteins.
First, let's check out some light summer meals,
which I often include inside of my weekly meal plans.
Now you'll notice that they are packed
with fresh, seasonal ingredients that are easy to find.
Like these veggie kabobs, no matter what
you choose to skewer, they're always a winner.
I'll make sure to link my veggie marinade for you
below this video, so yours can turn out
super flavorful and delish.
Now bell peppers, any color, are always great in the summer
because they're easy to find.
And one recipe that I love making are bell pepper nachos.
Now using bell peppers as the base,
you can load them up with ground beef or turkey, and salsa.
Then slide them in the oven for a few minutes.
Then load 'em up with cheese and olives.
Put them back in the oven, melt the cheese,
and then load 'em up with sour cream and guacamole.
Another quick and easy light meal
is my mango shrimp stir fry.
You're going to cook the onion in a large skillet.
You are going to add some garlic, soy sauce, lime juice,
Sriracha, and then your shrimp.
The shrimp cook really fast, so in just a minute or two,
you're going to add the diced ripe mango.
Stir around to release the juices.
And you're ready to serve it over rice.
Now remember that I'm going to add the links
to all of the recipes that I'm going to
share with you below this video.
But I want to share with you one of
my family's favorite recipes, like this avocado chicken.
Oh my gosh.
Chicken breasts, marinated in lime juice.
Add a little seasoning.
They're grilled to perfection outside on the barbecue,
or inside in a pan.
Topped with fresh avocado salsa.
Yup.
Grab this recipe for sure.
One recipe I make year round
is my sheet pan sausage and peppers.
Whether you pop the sheet pan in the oven,
or use a grill pan to hold your veggies and sausage,
you're going to love serving this over a salad, or with rice.
Now my avocado salmon bowls, they never disappoint.
And whether you use the oven or the grill
to cook your salmon,
this recipe is always delicious and never dry.
For an extra dash of awesome,
I love drizzling my spicy mayo right over the top.
Now friends, I also have some
no cook summer dinners for you.
One of my favorites is this caprese salad,
which is quick to assemble.
And, if you have leftover chicken,
now you can have a complete meal
where all you have to do is drizzle my balsamic vinegarette
over the top, toss it around,
and have a delicious summer meal.
I am a big fan of sandwiches because they require
little to no cooking and the possibilities are endless.
My avocado egg salad sandwich is one that you can make
by mashing up some ripe avocados.
You add some yogurt, lemon juice, seasonings.
And then add in your chopped hard boiled eggs.
It's fresh, easy, and delish.
If grilling up some proteins on the barbecue is your thing,
I've got some fabulous side dishes you're going to wanna try.
Like my watermelon and feta salad.
This recipe is a classic.
And the citrus vinegarette comes together
in a matter of minutes.
Another one of my favorites is this sweet potato salad.
It's a twist on the classic with a lot more flavor,
and it will surprise your taste buds, guaranteed.
