when I lived in New England and the hot humid summers nearly killed me. Lemon, lime-mint, mango, strawberry...whatever was fresh and in-season I'd make into homemade sorbet. Often it was the only thing remotely appealing to me when the heat just left me with no appetite at all.
There are quite a few recipes for sorbet in Eating for IBS, and also check the recipe board for lots of ideas.
Tomato-basil bread salad was a good main dish - no cooking required, and it was perfect for summer garden produce. Tangy Thai salad worked well, and anything you could just throw on an outdoor grill (salmon, shrimp, whitefish, skinless chicken breasts) to make barbecue or fajitas with.
I'd also make big batches of herbal iced tea - very refreshing!
