Please help me plan a casual dinner menu for 4-6 women for HOT weather

@momofsenior1 My riff on corn and avocado salad includes rice and black beans. Easy and people always love it.

I made this last night as a side dish and it was very pretty and tasty. I used pearl mozzarella and added a little finely diced shallots to the dressing.
