Can you believe it – this weekend already marks the unofficial start of summer. How has time gone by so quickly? My husby and I will be grilling out with some friends, possibly tossing around a frisbee, and hopefully getting a little sun. Any suggestions for favorite picnic side dishes that I might contribute to the get together? I was thinking maybe some blue cheese cole slaw or a minted fruit salad, but I’d love to hear if you have any favorites you’d recommend.

Trade in your bridesmaid dress for a little black dress.

my favorite summer dish to bring to parties is a grilled sausage panzanella- grilled italian sausage, grilled chunks of good bread, tomatoes, onion, basil, olive oil, red wine vinegar. it holds u well in the heat because it has no dairy-but of course, i always top it with lots of parmesan cheese!
i just ran across this recipe for watermelon salsa and i’m thinking of trying it. it sounds so yummy!

Do you have raspberries at your Farmer’s Market yet? If so, make this. Too die for. http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/07/raspberry-brown-sugar-gratin/
Um, that should be to die for. I got carried away with the too at the thought of the gratin.
Love the s’mores set up!!!

Hi Kathryn,
One of my very favorite things to make to go along with BBQ is this white peach and fresh mozzarella salad. It is one of my all-time favorite things to eat. You might not be able to get good fresh peaches yet, but at least save the recipe for this summer. It’s that good.

Have fun at your BBQ!
Oh, another thing that I’ve been meaning to try and that would be more readily available: Watermelon Feta Salad.
3 cups seedless watermelon chunks
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Coarsely ground black pepper to taste
Some people also like to add some fresh mint, and a light squeeze of lime juice.
I think I’m going to try it this weekend, too. Good luck!
A cold pasta salad made with gemelli. Brown butter tossed on the pasta, chopped fresh thyme, dill, and parsley finished with grated myzithra (a dry grated Greek cheese), sundries tomatoes. The perfect summer side! Enjoy!
I’m trying a new recipe for baked potato salad!
rachel Ray has a pretty good looking recipe! :)
Love feta!
Apricot salsa! Love the image of your parents!
Thank you so much for the mention, Kathryn! Lovely photo, btw. :)
