Quick Summer No Cook Recipes + A Video! The easiest and most delicious simple fruit salad and spiralized zucchini and apple salad! You’ll be making these all summer long!

This recipe and post is sponsored by GoodCook. 

Summer is almost here! This school year just flew by. I know I say that every year but this year, truly, within the blink of an eye, the school year has come to an end and soon, my kids will be able to sleep in to their hearts content.

This summer, we are taking it easy.  I’m not one of those moms who has it all together. I have a lot of mom friends who have their kids signed up for camps and activities by March/April. Not me. Maybe it’s the procrastinator in me, maybe it’s because I don’t want to think about summer in the spring. .  who knows. But this summer, we are taking it easy. I am only signing them up for a few things and we’re going to take some trips!

When we are home, during the summer, the less time I have the oven on, the better. And if I can make no cook recipes for meals, to me, that’s winning! So, today I’m going to show you two of our favorite no cook recipes for summer!

Be sure to enter the giveaway down below!

Super Easy Summer Fruit Salad

I seriously love when I find kitchen tools and gadgets that make my life easier. This Produce Chopper made by GoodCook is just that. It has stainless steel blades that help cut your fruit into the perfect bite sized pieces! I love it!

Benefits of the produce chopper: safe food chopping without using a knife, wide cushioned palm pad for comfortable and easy to use and it collects food in a large, clear 4-cup container.

The produce chopper has sturdy stainless steel blades that help cut the perfect squares, ideal for salsas, chopped salads, fruit salads, pizza toppings, and more! *Recommended: Cut larger food (fruit or vegetables) down into pieces that will fit onto the blade area before chopping, place cut side down.

Summer Spiralized Zucchini Apple Salad

If you don’t own a countertop spiralizer, pay attention! This is the easiest, most fun way to cut fruit and vegetables! I mean, who doesn’t love eating fruits and veggies shaped like fun spirals? It’s the best!

The GoodCook Countertop Veggie Spiralizer comes with 3 color coded, interchangeable stainless steel blades that can cut in thin spirals, thick spirals and ribbons. The easy to change cartridges store safely together when not in use and the silicone feet helps to anchor the spiralizer to countertops.

We hope you give these amazing and easy recipes a try! Here’s to a delicious summer!

    Your recipes sound so good. How perfect to have just the right tools to make the salads a breeze. These would be perfect to try as part of my clean eating plan. Fruit salad is one of my favorite things, and being able to effortlessly make perfect uniform cuts would be great. I might grow some zucchini in my garden, but if not my Mom will share hers with me. I can never get enough fresh fruits and vegetables.
