Refreshing No-Cook Recipes for Warm Spring Days

May 15, 2025 | By: The Darling Dish

When the temperature keeps rising, it’s time to reach for recipes that keep your kitchen (and you!) cool. Try a taste of a few of our favorite ways to skip the stove with Darling Citrus® and Suavo Avocado® without sacrificing flavor!

Fresh Salads and Bowls

Vibrant, crunchy, and packed with flavor—salads and grain bowls are warm weather MVPs. For a colorful twist, try our Kale Salad with Darling Citrus® + Saffron Dressing for a refreshing bite that’s both tangy and rich. Or load up your bowl with quinoa, veggies, and citrus for a Detox Glow Bowl, or a fresh salad topped with our signature, homemade Suavo Avocado® Green Goddess Dressing—it's creamy, dreamy, and 100% no-cook.

Crisp Citrus Lettuce Wraps

When spring and summertime hit, lettuce wraps are a staple! Whole30® Suavo Avocado® Chicken Salad makes for a satisfying, protein-packed filling that’s easy to meal prep and even easier to eat. Want to kick things up a notch? Load crisp lettuce leaves with mandarin-marinated ground meat (no stove required if pre-cooked!), top with fresh cilantro and sliced Suavo Avocados®.

Light Springtime Bites

From snacks to starters to a light lunch, no-cook little bites are a must in the sunnier seasons. Mango and Avocado Summer Rolls hit the spot every time - cool, crisp, and bursting with flavor. Or, bring the sunshine with Darling Lemon® Tabbouleh that keeps things light, bright, and zesty thanks to a squeeze of fresh Darling Citrus®
