It’s mid-July in Manhattan, which means I’ve entered my annual no-cook/no-bake phase when salads, chilled soups and frozen sweets rule my culinary repertoire. And high on that list of no-cook favorites are these Ahi Tuna Stacks with Ginger-Soy Dressing.

Bite-sized cubes of cucumber, mango and avocado and topped with fresh ahi, red onion and a drizzle of ginger-soy dressing. But don’t let those perfect cubes intimidate you! Check out this quick video for how to cut a mango without making a mess.

This simple stacked salad was inspired by its seafood predecessor, The La Jolla Crab Stack. And if both ahi tuna and lump crab meat can make the cut, who’s to say diced lobster meat wouldn’t also work fabulously atop this elegant appetizer or main dish? So steer clear of the stove and bypass the burners with this fast and flavorful way to beat the summer heat.
