When the temperature climbs and you don't even want to be in your kitchen, let alone turn on the oven, what are you going to eat? Turn to these easy, allergy-friendly summer recipes for your next cool-down snack or cold summer meal:

  • Fruit kebabs. Simply slice, chop, and thread on skewers.
  • Popsicles. From Vegan Fudgesicles to Cantaloupe, popsicles are easy to make and are both a cooling treat and a way to re-hydrate on a hot day.
  • Salads - tossed salad, no-mayo potato salad, or gluten-free pasta salad are all simple to make, allergy-friendly standbys. Or try something new, like this Avocado Grapefruit Salad that is free of the big 8 allergens.
  • Lettuce wraps. Inspired by Thai food, these Raw Lettuce Wraps are free of the big 8 allergens, and the dipping sauce can be modified to be as well by removing the soy sauce. But really, you can wrap anything you want in lettuce and call it a lettuce wrap - from pulled pork to chickpea salad.

Remember to follow the guidelines for safe grilling if you plan to attend a cookout or host one at home. And enjoy your summer of safe eats!

It is too hard to be in the kitchen during the summer, I like the idea of the fruit kebabs, that is a great party appetizer too, they would probably also be good a little frozen, like a fresh fruit Popsicle!
