Ideas and Recipes for Easy Keto Diet Dinner meals that require no cooking. Perfect for summer or quick meals.

Some of these meals can be prepared in an instant. Others, you can prepare ahead when the weather is cooler and have your fridge stocked and ready with meals for days.

I could enjoy a tuna salad every day and never get bored. My favourite combination is spinach, a small tin of tuna, avocado, sour cream and/or mayo. It’s just such a perfectly balanced meal and can be easily adpated depending on what you have available in your fridge and your mood.
5. Avocado and Feta Salad

6. Lettuce Wraps
A lettuce cup make and excellent wrap to hold your favourite sandwich fillings. You could fill a lettuce cup with your tuna salad, mentioned above, or leftover roast chicken and mayo. (As pictured above.)
