I snack on a lot more fruit, but that's probably because it's available when it's warm. Right now I've got a bowl of cherries that keeps shrinking every time I walk past it.

Oddly, I seem to eat oatmeal for breakfast in the summer. I know it doesn't make sense. But it just seems to work out that way.

Does ice cream count? Most of the summer, there are 2-3 flavors of homemade ice cream on hand.

I just bought a couple tubs of Korean pickles (daikon and cucumber) from a local grocer. I've been eating them as snacks and lunch items over the last week or so. Best under $10 purchase ever!

I go back to my midwest American roots, and like to put out a big tray of cold meats and cheese, with fresh lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles, cucumber and avocado when we have guests over. Combine that with some fresh bread and an assortment of spreads, and a few bags of crisps.

It's also the perfect time for 'build-your-own taco' night...just some beef or seafood, and leave the shells or wraps with everything else on the table; some salsa fresca, sour cream, shredded lettuce, hot sauce, grated cheese. Make guacamole and have a bowl of tortilla chips at the ready. Goes great with cold beer or margaritas.

We don't have A/C, so I try and heat up the house as little as possible. The boy and I are working on building a brick barbecue, but it's slow going. Once it's finished, though, I might as well unplug the cooker.

Salad - and tons of it. Greek salad is a fav at the moment...I suppose it's because tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions are so good right now. And it's light & healthy, but still really flavorful at the same time. Chicken salad, cold noodle salad (could be of the Italian or Asian type), Mexican corn & bean salad, and green salads with fresh fruit on top all make appearances too. Last night I basically picked at a variety of things I had in my fridge - cold rotisserie chicken, cheese, crackers with a couple different kinds of dip, some fruit... I do that a lot when it's hot outside and I can't imagine cooking or eating a large, heavy meal. Oh, and smoothies are now my go-to lunch or snack when nothing else sounds good.

Cold Japanese noodles. Zaru soba or udon, hiyashi chuka soba or somen... and always with an ice cube in the broth.

Mool naeng myun (Korean buckwheat noodles in a cold beef broth with veggies and slices of Asian pear) - sooo good on a hot day!

Cold fruit soups, preferably with berries.

Anything that can be grilled... which is basically anything. I particularly crave spicy food, like meat with a spicy rub, to be accompanied by a cold salad. Lots and lots of asian style slaw (rice wine vinegar, lime juice, ginger, garlic, scallions, fish sauce over shredded cabbage, snow peas, bean sprouts, etc.
Of course, to be followed by ice cream@!

Fresh fresh melon with proscuito, stone fruits (peaches, plums), anything you can cook on a grill and anything from the ocean. Pies and icebox cake. Simple food, nothing fussy or long cooked (except maybe ribs and BBQ)

@dhorst - Cucumber addict here too:
I slice them and top them with this Bad Reichenhaller Kräuter Salz mit Folsäure; it's really just a seasoning salt I think with various herbage; it's super versatile for all salads too. It just has to be refrigerated after it's been opened (for some reason);

100-cheers for ICE COLD beer! There's really nothing I crave MORE when it's hot out.

I eat raw veggies all the time all-year round but I get an extra-hinkling (sp?) for them in our very very very short summer.

This year I've found it EXTREMELY strange that I've been craving soda-fizziness... I usually avoid all sodas alltogether. At first I thought I was pregnant or something! It must be the weather...

Tacos are always good, especially when they're really spicy (helps you sweat, which helps cool you off).
