Quoted message said:enigma said:i just despise heat & humidity... ok, mostly the humidity part.
anyway, i would like to find some good cold or room temp foods
to add to the seasonal rotation.
the only restrictions are no shellfish or fish. i can deal with
very small amounts of tuna once in a while, but i am allergic.
i'd like a good recipe for cold noodles (sesame or peanut
butter?). Kid isn't crazy about lettuce, but will eat it if it's
that or not eating.

While there are many meat dishes, beef, pork, chicken, fish, lamb etc.
that are to be served cold they must be cooked first. One possibility
is to cook them in the cool of the night for service the next day. If
this is not an option then cold veggie dishes seem the obvious choice.
Any favourite veggies finely minced and dressed with a flavourful
vinaigrette and served with pasta is very good.
Various fruit salads which require no cooking, and though tastes vary i
am quite fond of the Italian meal of fresh bread, fruit, cheese and
chilled wine.
Chunky peanut butter thinned with a little sesame, peanut, walnut or
grapeseed oil and tossed with rice noodles is good. Often times a bit
of pepper oil or cayenne flakes are added.
Pasta primavera made with spiral pasta and olives, broccoli, red onions,
shredded carrots, sliced mushrooms & fetta cheese and a vinaigrette is a
favourite. Often salmon is added but can be left out to good effect.
