    I use my grill often so as not to heat the house. Salads and sandwiches are good ideas too.

    Salads immediately came to mind when I saw your post title and you had a few. I am loving that crabmeat roll though and I might give that one a try.

    Sandwiches are a great way to keep the air cooler in the summer. I also like using my crockpot as another option to not using my stove and turning the oven on.
    Sandwiches and salads sound great for dinner.
