Memorial Weekend is almost here. The unofficial start to the summer season! Whether you’re hosting or attending a party this weekend, it’s always fun to try a new recipe. And as the weather warms, it’s the best season for featuring fresh produce in your meals. Take advantage of the great farmer’s markets around Kansas City to highlight the flavorful ingredients in these choices:
Rotisserie Herb Chicken (via Grilling Wino): Don’t be intimidated to try a rotisserie chicken at home. This recipe only takes 20 minutes to prep and an hour to roast. The result will be an evenly cooked, juicy chicken. Look for fresh herbs – or buy a bunch to pot and have on hand all summer – for this main dish!
Creamy Yogurt Cucumber Salad (via Foodie Crush): This fresh, cool salad would pair nicely with the chicken above, or make it even more casual with burgers. The fresh herbs will be the star of this dish – and the tangy yogurt dressing will leave you wanting more of this summery side!
Greek Salad (via Ina Garten/Food Network): If a vinaigrette is more your style, opt for a traditional Greek salad instead. This easy dish pairs brightly-colored veggies with a light-tasting dressing. This versatile side would go well with several grilled meat or seafood dishes.
Carolina Peach Sangria (via My Recipes): Why not save the best for last? Add fresh peaches and raspberries to your shopping list to enhance this tasty cocktail. Cheers!
