A cold refreshing soup and a crunchy cool salad offer easy options when it’s “too hot to eat.”Satisfying summer sustenance can showcase seasonal selections. As we try to keep our cool, the “soup” part will be our dear departed friend Ray’s cold cucumber-mint soup. For the salad: Lidey Hueck combines arugula with peaches, goat cheese and basil in a satisfying salad. Add the peaches, basil, goat cheese and toasted pine nuts and toss to coat. Add more goat cheese and dressing if desired.
