Memorial Day is all about summer salad, grilled items, fun frozen drinks, and fruit desserts! Here are a few more ideas for your holiday planning:
Grilled foods are a staple of any Memorial Day cookout. Think juicy burgers, grilled salmon or chicken, and veggie burgers or tofu. Grilled vegetables make great side dishes, like tender and smoky corn on the cob, asparagus, zucchini, and bell peppers. Summer salads are a must-have. Refreshing and light, they offer a welcome contrast to the heavier grilled options. There’s everything from crisp green salads, pasta salads, potato salads, bean salads, and more. Dips and finger foods make the meal fun. Whether you prefer creamy guacamole, spicy salsa, fruit skewers, or a classic hummus, these crowd-pleasers are perfect for snacking throughout the day. Summer drinks are the most fun, like lemonade, iced tea, and infused water are all excellent choices. Or make summer cocktails like a watermelon mojito or a blueberry margarita. Desserts go big on seasonal fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and peaches. Incorporate them into cobblers, pies, or simply enjoy them fresh with a dollop of whipped cream.
