45 Quick and Easy No Cook Recipes

45 Quick and Easy No Cook Recipes | www.savorylotus.com

It’s summer.  It’s hot.  And the last thing I want to do is turn on my oven.  Are you feeling the same way? Here’s 45 easy to make no cook recipes that you can whip up in a flash without turning a knob. 

Don’t get me wrong, I do love to cook.  But the thought of heating up my kitchen on an already hot day does not sound fun.  So take a vacation from cooking and check out these healthy no cook recipes from around the web. They can be thrown together easily on those busy summer days and will be your saving grace on lazy weekends. They are all gluten and grain free.  And many are dairy free as well.

Keeping your kitchen stocked with a few basics will make creating no cook recipes a breeze this summer.  Here’s what I like to keep in  my kitchen:

  • rotisserie chicken
  • homemade mayonnaise (get recipe HERE)
  • canned salmon
  • fresh salad greens
  • fresh vegetables for salad
  • romaine or butter lettuce for lettuce cups
  • lemon and vinegars for dressings
  • fresh herbs for garnishing

Hope you are having an amazing summer.  Enjoy the sunshine!

xo,

Katja

  • ✨ 5 years ago, i completely uprooted my life because i felt a call for something different • i don’t have a single regret 

there is so much peace and power in intentionally creating a life aligned with your values and heart’s desire 

but it takes radical ownership of EVERY aspect of your life
  • 💪fitness is one of the biggest mood boosters in my life—not because it solves everything, but because it consistently gives me space to come back to myself 💪

💪sometimes the workout is the least important part • the real gift is becoming the kind of woman who keeps choosing herself, over and over again 💪
  • ✨this season has changed me in ways i never expected—and honestly, i think it’s making me a better woman • softer, slower, stronger, and more trusting ✨✨
  • ☀️sunlight sets the tone for my day and for my hormones • i’m 52• moving towards menopause • not doing complicated protocols, hormones or peptides • finding my way through slowing down, getting strong , simplifying, and being intentional with what ACTUALLY supports my body • every woman has a different journey • and i’m figuring out mine 💗
  • 💗 some things are out of our control • AND we have more agency over what happens to us than we think • a beautiful life is built in the habits we repeat 💗
  • • anyone else feel tired of all the noise? • trying to find my place here again • as i navigate big changes in my own life seasons • what actually makes a beautiful life ? 🌈✨
  • • becoming intentional about every aspect of my life has brought so much peace, contentment, and joy into my life • as i get older, i crave a slower, more deliberate pace to life • feeling grateful • 🙏
  • 🥦🥒🥬 growing your own food is a powerful way to support your health • you get fresh food + sunshine, fresh air and movement when you work in your garden • you don’t need a HUGE homestead • you can grow in containers on your apartment patio • you can create raised beds in your front yard • you can create an urban garden in the middle of a city 

🥦🥬🥒 we are blessed with a bit of land in western NC (about an acre) • 8 garden beds provide space to grow lots of things • i concentrate on building healthy soil • no pesticides or chemical • we also have berries and fruit trees planted around the yard 

🥦🥒🥬 there’s a deep satisfaction that comes from working the soil, tending the plants, harvesting the vegetables, and eating what we grow • it connects me to SOURCE/GOD 💗 and reminds me to stay in rhythm with NATURE • grateful 🙏
  • 💪 training for life • in a world full of distractions and drama, i’m focusing on what’s important to me • i want to be strong, to feel alive, and to be capable • so i can show up for myself, my family, and my community • when you turn inward and take charge of your own life and your own health, you realize that freedom, real health, and longevity are possible 💗• hope you have an amazing big day
