Memorial Day Weekend is just around the corner and I must say I look SO forward to a weekend of grilling + relaxing outside.

I figured it would be fun today to share some of my favorite picnic and patio recipes so no matter what your plans may look like this year you can still enjoy delicious food!


Greek Pasta Salad AHP 803

We added this one just in time and it’s a perfect pasta salad to serve as a side to some grilled meats or as a hearty addition to a picnic.


Asparagus and White Bean Quinoa AHP 060

This dish is springtime perfection. Tender asparagus, creamy white beans, bright lemon and sweet basil tossed with quinoa for a great prep-ahead side that’s amazing served chilled by itself or as an accompaniment to anything off the grill.


Quinoa Tabbouleh AHP 054

Another great prep-ahead quinoa salad, this one is packed with fresh veggies and reminds me why I am so excited for summer (tomato season)!


Vegetarian Panzanella Salad AHP 067 

This is another of my summertime favorites and the longer it sits the better it gets which makes it absolutely perfect for prepping in advance and serving up alongside anything off the grill!


Summer Veggie Pasta Salad AHP 791

Toss veggies on the grill and throw them with some penne + the most delicious homemade balsamic dressing and you’ve got yourself a colorful + healthy pasta salad that’ll become a staple in your house!


Turkey Burgers with Broccoli Slaw and Sweet Potato Fries AHP 724

Burgers, fries + slaw taken to a new level are the perfect way to kick off grilling season.


Chicken with Warm Potato Salad and Cherry Tomatoes AHP 154 

This unique twist on a warm, prep-ahead potato salad pairs perfectly with chicken off the grill.

Which one are you most excited to be adding to your weekend menu?
