Our heat-plagued planet set a heat record on July 4, and even in coastal Maine where I live, it’s been unusually steamy. When dinner time rolls around, an air-conditioned restaurant is one option, but most of the ones near me are packed with tourists at this time of year. If you’re similarly inclined to put a tasty meal on the table without turning on your oven or firing up the grill, here are five fabulous recipes from culture<\/strong>‘s archives that are hearty enough to be a complete meal. Some take advantage of ready-to-eat proteins such as rotisserie chicken and high-quality canned tuna\u2014and all include cheese, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tuna Fris\u00e9e Salad with Citrus-Marinated Manchego and Olives<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Spanish-inspired salad comes together quickly but the Manchego must be marinated at least three hours in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chopped Kale Salad with Aged Gouda and Anchovy Dressing<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We suggest using an aged gouda from Artikaas in this satisfying salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Smoked<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Smoked Duck Salad with Grana Padano and Strawberries<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can find d’Artagnan brand smoked duck breast in specialty shops and some supermarkets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"brie_plate_sandwich\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Roast Chicken and Brie Sandwich<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rotisserie chicken makes putting together this sandwich a breeze. If you can’t find fris\u00e9e, use your favorite crisp lettuce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Burrata<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Green Gazpacho with Burrata<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Serve this cool soup with prosciutto, sliced tomatoes, and a fresh baguette to round out the meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
