Very good and different for me. I’ve used something similar over sautéed vegetables with chicken before and I’m going to do that again soon.

Also fresh nectarines are so good right now!

I just ate a fresh nectarine! Had a bowl of perfect cherries yesterday!

Cowboy caviar - whatever can I’d beans I have in the cabinet plus crunchy stuff - peppers, onions, celery - and a dressing of vinegar and olive oil.

This is my staple summer lunch (this amount lasts in the fridge for a few meals): I combine a can of white beans, a can of garbanzo beans, and a jar of artichoke hearts in a bowl. Then I toss in olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, lots of oregano, some basil, and red pepper. Delicious alone but I also crumble some feta and also add a little scoop of chopped calabrian chiles because I love the heat.

I have noticed I snack less on days this is my lunch.

I make an Asian slaw with a peanut dressing that’s so good in the summer. I make the full amount of dressing, but I only dress one bag of coke slaw mix and veggies and save the other half of the dressing for another batch because it makes a lot and leftovers will get soggy. You can add grilled chicken or salmon and make this a complete meal.

6 tablespoons rice vinegar
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic

5 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
2 large red or yellow bell peppers, cut into matchstick-size strips
2 medium carrots, peeled, cut into matchstick-size strips
8 large green onions, cut into matchstick-size strips
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Preparation:

Whisk first 7 ingredients in small bowl to blend. (Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before continuing.)

Combine remaining ingredients in large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

I made a variation of this...I used baby spinach and an already shredded bag of cabbage and carrots. The key is definitely using fresh mint and cilantro. I didn't have peppers or sambal on hand for the dressing so I stuck trader joe's chili crunch in there. Everyone loved it.

This might be gilding the lily, but I like those sandwiches grilled too, with olive oil instead of butter. Then see how long you can stretch the mozzarella when you take a bite…
