Summer Cookout Menu

Summer cookout. The term no doubt creates images of enjoying some fun in the sun with friends and family, celebrating with some tasty eats.

Three years ago this weekend, I shared a paleo-friendly Memorial Day menu with lots of delicious cookout recipes.

I’ve since added a lot of great recipes to the site, so I decided to put together another updated summer cookout menu.

These are some of the best loved, good for a crowd dishes I’ve got. Mix and match to customize the perfect combination.

Drinks

• Kombucha Slushie – a simple blend of kombucha and frozen fruit
• Watermelon Slush – watermelon was destined for this cool frozen drink
• Easy Paleo Mocktails – alcohol-free but still sophisticated
• Seltzer water with lime and olive garnish

Appetizers / Salads / Side-Dishes

• Broccoli Salad – a riff on the classic
• Jalapeño-Lime Chicken Wings – the perfect finger food
• Paleo Chicken Pineapple Meatballs – bake these ahead of time and keep warm in a small slow cooker
• Paleo Cucumber Sesame Salad – light and refreshing in warm weather
• Watermelon Mojito Salad – a Stupid Easy Paleo classic with watermelon, lime, and mint
• Holy Gaucamole Salad – all the flavors of guac in a deconstructed salad
• Salmon Cobb Salad – this entree salad is great for a get-together

Meats

• Kickin’ BBQ Shredded Chicken (Carolina Style) – take along in a slow cooker
