Pasta salad - make your own then you can add as much dressing as you like , any kind of vegetable and even mix in some cold cuts just before you eat it if you want some&nbsp; protein.<br>

<p style="margin: 0px;">It's amazing how many dishes taste almost as good cold as they do warm or hot.&nbsp; More often than not, they are low in fat, particularly saturated fats...</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">I love cold bean soup, cold Indian dal, many different cold fishes (but not Long John Silvers cold), cold fruit desserts, and so forth.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">The two things are think are the nastiest cold are&nbsp;greasy hamburgers and....&nbsp;&nbsp;and cold french fries...&nbsp; Some cold, fried chicken is gross, too, such as KFC Extra Crispy (breaded twice)... </p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">The other, less breaded chicken is kind of yummy at fridge temp though.&nbsp; Grandma Harris used to bring&nbsp;leftover chicken (cooked&nbsp;with&nbsp;tons of Crisco in a cast iron skillet)&nbsp;when we went fishing... I'd take her midwest cooking over Gordon Ramsey's foofoo stuff any day!</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p>

I keep crab sticks. They make good sushi rolls or just sandwiches with fresh veggies.

Curry. Any kind. The spicier the better. The rice gets a little coarse, but the curry tastes better to me cold. <br /><br />How come no one has mentioned <span class="st">Ceviche yet? The Shrimpo de Gallo recipe made me think of it since civiche is just pico de gallo with extra lime and raw meat..<br /><br />&nbsp;Here is the recipe I want to try if I ever manage to catch a damn trout out here:</span><span class="st"><br /></span><h3>Ingredients</h3><ul class="subset"><li>4 trout fillets</li><li>2 <a href="http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/knowhow/glossary/lime/"> limes </a> , juiced</li><li>1 small red <a href="http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/knowhow/glossary/chilli/"> chilli </a> , finely chopped</li><li>&frac12; <a href="http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/knowhow/glossary/onion/"> onion </a> , very finely chopped</li><li>2 <a href="http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/knowhow/glossary/tomato/"> tomatoes </a> , seeded, skinned and finely chopped</li><li>&frac12; <a href="http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/knowhow/glossary/avocado/"> avocado </a> , peeled and finely chopped</li><li>a handful cilantro leaves</li></ul><ol><li><span>Slice the trout carefully into strips, cutting into the fish on a diagonal. Lay the strips in a glass or ceramic dish and pour over the lime juice, chilli and onion. Cover and leave in the fridge for an hour. Check all the fish is in contact with the lime and rearrange the strips if you need to, leave for another hour. </span></li><li><span> Arrange the fish on plates to serve, season with a little salt and scatter the tomato, avocado and coriander over. </span></li></ol><br />Recipe from http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/6912/trout-ceviche<span class="st"><br id="tinymce" class="mceContentBody " /></span>
