It's Getting Hot in Here...
No oven. No stove. No regrets.
If you’re in Houston, you’ve probably reached the point in summer where opening the front door feels like opening the dishwasher mid-cycle.
Between the heat, World Cup watch parties, backyard gatherings, and Fourth of July celebrations right around the corner, this is the season for recipes that keep things simple and refreshing.
As we head into July, watermelon, cucumbers, fresh herbs, and other summer favorites are coming into their peak season. That’s exactly why I keep coming back to this Watermelon Salad with Cucumber, Feta, and Mint. It’s crisp, flavorful, and comes together in just a few minutes with no oven, no stove, and very little effort.
The combination of sweet watermelon, cool cucumber, salty feta, fresh mint, and bright lime tastes like summer on a plate. Serve it at a cookout, bring it to a watch party, or pair it with grilled chicken or fish for an easy weeknight meal.
When it’s this hot outside, simple recipes like this just make sense.
