Bean salad is another common summer food. High in certain types of protein, it is easy to fix and enjoy, regardless of environmental temperature. Although the beans can be added raw, cooking ahead of time can prevent later stomach issues. This is an easy to make meal while traveling with canned ingredients. An entire jar of mayonnaise can be used while on vacation and stored in a fridge, or a chilled bag, during a drive. If planning to make a new salad every night, such as the pea, egg, chicken, and seafood, the mayonnaise will be gone in a hurry.
