No, thanksI'm already a PureWow fan.

No, thanks I hate pretty things.

The weather’s hot, our schedules are full and we’re feeling a bit lazier than usual when it comes to cooking dinner. Luckily, there are endless no-cook recipes to prepare this week (and all summer long) that will put a meal on the table in less than 30 minutes and avoid turning your kitchen into a sauna. Thanks to a few special tools, like your blender, and shortcut ingredients, like store-bought rotisserie chicken, you’ll barely have to lift a finger to feed your dinner crew.

In December, we don’t mind standing at the stove for hours to make fresh tomato soup. But in the summertime? We’ll pass. Thankfully, all this seasonal soup needs to come together is a blender or food processor.

The only “cooking” these handhelds require is warming the tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds per side to soften them. The rest is all store-bought dressings, fresh produce and precooked chicken.

Salmon is tasty, but this main is less fussy and even more refreshing than its namesake, thanks to fresh watermelon and a zingy, gingery dressing. Boost the protein content with marinated tofu.

In case you went overboard at the farmers market, we know *exactly* what to do with all those summer tomatoes. A few simple ingredients, like store-bought pesto, ricotta cheese and balsamic vinegar, transform the produce into a 15-minute masterpiece.

Kelp noodles are a common ingredient in Korean cuisine, and they’re famous for their al dente texture and high nutrient content. They don’t need to be boiled; just soak them in water for 30 minutes with a spritz of lemon juice and a dash of salt to soften them.

It doesn’t get more seasonal than this fruity twist on everyone’s favorite summer salad. Pile the ingredients onto sturdy rolls to make sandwiches or eat the peaches, cheese and herbs solo. Either way, we’d add a savory crown of prosciutto, if we were you.

Behold: one of our go-to make-ahead recipes. Whip up a giant batch of chicken salad, pack the hulled-out peppers in a container or bag and fill them once you arrive at the picnic or cookout. Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise makes it tangier and lighter than the O.G., but just as creamy.
