What are some healthy meals that don't require a lot cooking?

I HATE to cook, but I want to eat healthier. I am working on losing weight by exercising and making changes to my diet. What foods can I eat that don’t require a lot of cooking (minimal preparation). I don’t really want to eat these Lean Cuisine meals, I want fresh food.
