    When I don't want to eat/cook because of the heat my go to is always fresh mozz, tomatoes, basil, EVOO, balsamic vinegar. I could live on it.

    Or I'll just munch on frozen fruit, or throw some fish and broccoli on the grill with lots of lemon.
    i second this

    Byerlys Sunny Broccoli Salad. It's cold, it's refreshing, it's got protein and lots of good vitamins, and if you make it with lite mayonnaise you don't notice one bit of difference and -- 325 calories per cup. (Which is quite a bit, actually).

    Frozen Yogurt or sorbet for dessert.

    If you're an omnivore, pick up a rotisserie chicken so you don't have to heat your kitchen up. Then pick up a bunch of fruit and veggies, like watermelon, other melons, cucumbers, etc. Maybe make a light vinegar-baed cucumber salad and a fruit salad. Watermelon is great as far as calories per serving. :)

    Added: You can use the chicken for the Waldorf salad someone else mentioned if you don't feel like eating a hot meal. :)

    We love chilled Italian pasta salad. Whole wheat spiral pasta, cucumbers, grape tomatoes and homemade Italian dressing. You can buy store bought but I think it has too much sodium in it. If you want it to be more filling, add some protein. Grilled chicken breast is good in it, as is shrimp. Delicious, filling and cool.

    Cold soba noodles with hot broth. I get cold way too easily so I like to eat it cold and warm it up as I like drinking broth :)

    Helpful answer: gazpacho.
    My real first thought: rum.

    When it gets too hot we have super salads.

    Salad, cut up any veggies you want, hard boiled eggs, some cut up ham....

    Then we don't have to use the oven :)

    If you like seafood, ceviche is great to make. I have made it with shrimp, tuna, and snapper. I like it on a tostada or with plantain chips.

    Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich or bacon and eggs. A good salad is always a good for a hot day too.
