Anyone have good summer receipes?

We don't have central AC and our kitchen is not a desirable place to be right now.

Anyone have good (vegetarian or seafood) recipes to share that require minimal or no cooking?  Recipes than can be tweaked to be veggie-friendly are fine too.

Extra points for crockpot recipes.

Here we make a queso fresco salad that is delicious: mix together the following ingredients: queso fresco, cilantro, red onions, lime juice, salt, pepper, tomatoes. And really you can add any other veggies you so desire.

Jalapeñomel - that sounds fabulous!

Really if you put queso fresco or feta with a bunch of veggies, you cannot go wrong.

You could skip the bacon on this one to make it veggie.

My SIL and I made this a few days ago on our beach vacation. I guess the only heat would be boiling the pasta (we used bacon bits). It is really yummy and keeps well. A family of six ate on it for 3 days.
