✅ 45 Best MEMORIAL DAY Recipes ✅

To help you plan your summer cookout menu, I just spent half a day gathering my 45 best Memorial Day recipes and organizing them into categories like appetizers, salads, side dishes, grilled mains, desserts, and cocktails. This menu has everything! Start your cookout with crowd-pleasing appetizers like Mexican street corn dip or not-your-average puff pastry pigs in a blanket. Add fresh salads like strawberry-spinach salad, mango-avocado salad, or my most popular Greek pasta salad! You'll love finger food like my baked chicken wings (with 3 sauces!) and vegetarian stuffed portobello mushrooms. And don't skip dessert. Summer desserts are honestly the best part of the Memorial Day weekend. Make lots of them! My raspberry lemon cake, fresh pear almond cake, lemon brownies, fan-favorite blueberry peach crisp, and key lime bundt cake all deserve a spot on your Memorial Day Menu. Whether you're hosting a big Memorial Day BBQ, heading to a potluck, or simply cooking for family at home, these easy 45 summer recipes are perfect for kicking off the season. 🫛🥓🥕🫑🥑 Julia. 😍 45 BEST MEMORIAL DAY RECIPES
