Welcome Summer With These 31 Memorial Day Recipes
As soon as the weather creeps past the mid-60s, we’re diving headfirst into summer recipes. Memorial Day signifies the start of summer (unofficially), and we’re celebrating accordingly: with fresh herbs, juicy berries, and all cooking happening on the grill. In this warm-weather recipe lineup, you’ll find all the requisite cookout foods: pasta salad, grilled corn, and classic BBQ baked beans. But the party doesn’t end there. Whether you’re looking for easy, breezy appetizers, mains that aren’t just burgers, or simple, no-bake desserts, these Memorial Day recipes will carry you through every phase of the cookout—and probably the rest of the summer too. To go along with these summer-ready recipes, we’ve got plenty of refreshing cocktails (these frozen watermelon margaritas are calling to us).
