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

Here’s mine (we’re all allergic to nuts and tree nuts, so this one is definitely “safe”):

SESAME NOODLES
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 T. fresh ginger, grated
2 T. sesame oil
6 T. vegetable oil
6 T. light rice vinegar
8 T. soy sauce
1 T. chili oil or hot oil
3 T. white sugar
1 lb. vermicelli, cooked
6 scallions

Saute first four ingredients for a minute or two (don’t burn the garlic!). Add next four ingredients and boil for a few seconds. Pour the sauce over the cooked vermicelli. Refrigerate overnight. Toss noodles and garnish with chopped scallions. Serve cold or at room temperature.
