A second user replied, “Cucumber sandwiches. No need to be fancy; just slice them up, layer them on a slice of buttered bread, and then put another slice of buttered bread on top. A little salt and pepper if you want.”

Watermelon

A user replied, “Pasta salad! I prefer oil/vinegar-based ones to mayo-based ones. And they are lighter feeling in the heat. Add a ton of veggies and a bit of feta. Perfection!”

Ice Pops
