Take full advantage of strawberry season
There’s nothing quite like biting into a fresh strawberry on a hot day — proof that Mother Nature knows best how to create a refreshing treat. Slice up some just-picked strawberries to serve to cookout guests as bite-sized appetizers, and watch the smiles spread around the backyard.
It’s burger time
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it: there’s a reason that hamburgers are the centerpiece of cookouts all over the country. Grill up these fresh patties for your pals, and it will be easy to see — and smell and taste — why.
Enjoy some effervescence
Crack open some serious refreshment with mini seltzer cans featuring graphics inspired by their flavors — Unicorn Kisses, Mermaid Songs, Pixie Lights, and Dragon Whispers. These juice- and sugar-free spritzers have natural fruit flavor for effervescent hydration or an easy mixer for drinks.
Spice up your grill game
Add some kick to meat, seafood, and vegetables with garlic sriracha seasoning, worthy of secret sauce status. The mix has Thai chili pepper for heat, garlic, and a touch of sugar and vinegar. You’ll want to shake it on everything, from shrimp skewers to Bloody Marys, and maybe even stash a jar in your backpack.
Aw, shucks
Is there a more versatile veggie than fresh corn? Grill it, boil it, roast it, steam it — there’s nothing like shucking a few ears of corn and enjoying the finished product, no matter how you cook it.
Put out the dips
Savory dips are great with chips, cut-up veggies, or pretzels. Ready-made tubs, like French onion dip with caramelized onion and ranch flavors, are easy to serve right out of the container or for a little panache, plate them in colorful bowls.
Go big on the chips
Chips are good snacking on their own or as vehicles for all kinds of deliciousness — creamy dips, salsa, guacamole, humus — or loaded up like nachos with shredded cheese and toppings. Scoop-shaped tortilla chips are a crunchy mode for digging in without cracking.
Grilled chicken brings the party
Chicken breasts are a versatile protein, ready for virtually any kind of flavor. Fresh from your local store, this family pack will reward marinating, grilling, frying — whatever you want to bring to the table.
Straight from the vine
A juicy tomato plucked from the vine provides the perfect finish to a burger, but if you can’t wait for the grilling to finish, just add a little salt for a ready-made snack. Your guests will thank you.
