Memorial Day Menu Ideas

Memorial Day is for remembering and honoring those that have fought for our freedom and lost there lives to keep what we hold dear.

It is also the unofficial start of summer and grilling season.

So Memorial Day is also a time to celebrate with good food! Here are some of my favorites to inspire you.

Chunky Guacamole - Addictive at best.

Black Bean Salsa - Serve this with chips or over grilled chicken or fish.

Sweet Onion Salsa - Make a huge batch of this, cause it goes quickly!

Cherryade - So delicious and perfect for the holiday.

Orange Iced Tea - A southern favorite, and my favorite too!

Grilled Green Beans - A perfect side dish with nice in season beans.
