Homemade Guacamole Dip
This guacamole dip is perfect for an easy and healthy Memorial Day recipe. We eat it with tortilla chips, but you can also eat it by itself or with vegetables.
Homemade Pico de Gallo
This pico de gallo made is one of our favorite Memorial Day picnic food ideas! Easy to make recipe and can even be thrown together last minute.
Black Bean and Corn Salad
Some people like to eat this black bean and corn salad alone, but we like to eat it with tortilla chips or pita chips like a black bean and corn salsa. It's great either way! (You can even top it with the guacamole recipe from above!)
How To Make Strawberry Infused Water
This infused strawberry water is the perfect summer drink to keep everyone hydrated during a Memorial Day party. A drink recipe even kids will love!
Sweet Sun Tea
To make this cookout drink recipe, all you'll need is one gallon glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and some tea bags!
Fresh Fruit Salad in a Waffle Cone
A fruit salad recipe is an easy last-minute addition to any cookout recipe or Memorial Day dessert! Prepare the salad before and store it in the cooler until ready to spoon it into the waffle cones.
Asparagus Salad
Once you've had asparagus in salad, you may never want to go back to a plain salad recipe again! The toasted nuts are (obviously) optional, but give a nice extra crunch to this dish. This is a great cookout dish because it can be served warm or cold.
Easy Banana Pudding
Banana pudding is another one of our best Memorial Day food ideas! The secret ingredient in this vanilla wafer banana pudding will surprise you!
Easy Homemade Whipped Cream
This homemade whipped cream recipe is so easy AND delicious that you will never want to buy the stuff from the store again! Use it with the fruit salad recipe in a waffle cone or for any desserts for Memorial Day.
Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
These chocolate cake mix cookies are so yummy that no one will believe that they're so easy!
