Recipes We’re Making For Memorial Day
With Memorial Day just days away, it’s time to figure out your menu plan for those Memorial Day BBQs, picnics and potlucks. For inspiration, we gathered a list of killer barre3-approved recipes from some of our favorite blogs.
This colorful Mixed Quinoa Salad with Roasted Summer Veggies from The Yellow Table is full of addictive roasted vegetables. (Substitute chickpeas for the pine nuts to provide more protein.) Bonus: It tastes great warm or at room temperature so travels well to Memorial Day get-togethers.
Need a side dish for an afternoon picnic? You’re going to want to bring this Purple Power Salad from My New Roots. The Moroccan-inspired flavors offer a great twist on typical cabbage salad – and it feeds a crowd! Enjoy it with your favorite grilled protein for a well-rounded meal.
A good homemade hummus recipe like this Roasted Garlic Hummus from A House in the Hills is worth its weight in gold. Plus it’s a great option to snack on at a BBQ with crunchy raw veggies. (You’ll see why we take the time to prep this dip the moment you taste it.)
Got burgers on the brain? Then you’ll love these vegetarian-friendly Sweet and Smoky Beet Burgers from Food52. They’re as good served solo as they are topped with a spoonful of whole-milk yogurt.
If you need another alternative burger for your BBQ, whip up Dishing Up the Dirt’s satisfying Chickpea Mushroom Burgers. Served with gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps, these burgers pack a ton of flavor in each patty – and you don’t even have to fire up the grill to make them.
We can’t wait to try these Deviled Eggs from the brilliant recipe journal 101 Cookbooks. They use protein-rich Greek yogurt, not mayonnaise, in the filling and plenty of fresh herbs to punch up the flavor. We bet they’ll be a zesty complement to your favorite side salads.
Not Without Salt’s stunning White Bean Salad with Peas and Mint might be the most gorgeous bean salad we’ve ever seen. It’s filling enough to be a main dish but works as a side as well.
For a new take on that old favorite, potato salad, make Cannelle et Vanille’s light Potato Salad with Avocado, Radishes and Mustard Croutons. Radishes and gluten-free croutons give the salad a great crunch factor, while avocados provide healthy fat. We like to serve it over a bed of mixed greens for added fiber and nutrition.
The simplicity of the barre3 Spinach, Pecan + Apple Salad makes it one of our most popular recipes. Toss it together to get some greens in on the side of your Memorial Day main course.
If you’re going to be on the go this holiday, you’ll need a healthy snack to take with you. We’re loving these adorable Cherry Ginger Cacao Granola Bites from The Year in Food.
For dessert, Local Haven’s bite-size Raw Brownie Bites hit the spot. And this deeply chocolatey treat takes less than 10 minutes to make!
