Memorial Day is a time to celebrate and remember the men and women who have served our country and bravely fought for our freedom. It is also a great opportunity for friends and family to gather and spending time outside and enjoying some delicious food! Here are some great recipes for your backyard barbeque, picnic, or party:
1. Roasted Corn, Avocado and Black Bean Salsa: The roasted corn adds a nice chewy sweetness to this salsa. It works great as a dip with tortilla chips, or as an accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken, or just enjoyed by the spoonful. If you make a large batch, be sure to add the avocado just before serving to keep it from browning.
2. Chipotle Lime Grilled Skewers with Avocado Ranch: There’s nothing like a good skewer recipe to get the grill cranked up for the season.
Try this new tender and flavorful chicken recipe this weekend. When avocado, ranch and grill marks are combined, it’s a guaranteed winning recipe.
