    The Best Memorial Day Recipes

    Today I’m rounding up 11 of my best Memorial Day Recipes! Any and all of these recipes would be perfect for your next summertime picnic or potluck. 

    Let me know which one(s) you’ll be making this month! 

    Collage of memorial day recipes

    These recipes were selected with Memorial Day in mind, but they’d really be great for any party you’re attending this summer!

    MACARONI SALAD

    A heaping bowl of homemade macaroni salad

    A classic picnic choice, this recipe has been tested and perfected. Everyone who has tried my macaroni salad has asked for a copy of the recipe!

    BROCCOLI SALAD

    Just remember, just because it’s green doesn’t mean it’s health food 😉

    STAR SPANGLED COOKIES

    Red white and blue marbled cookies with silver star sprinkles

    Most of the items on this list are cold salads that are perfect and simple for throwing together before you step out the door. But, what would a party be without dessert!? These Star Spangled Cookies are easier to make than you probably think (and how cute are they!?).

    PULLED CHICKEN

    This recipe is so easy I was almost too embarrassed to share it 😳 Everything is just thrown together in the crockpot!

    DEVILED EGGS

    Deviled eggs sprinkled with paprika

    These aren’t just any deviled eggs! These are my “Million Dollar” Deviled Eggs, made with a critical, subtle, secret ingredient!

    RAMEN NOODLE SALAD

    Ramen Noodle salad in wooden bowl

    Unusual but addictive, this simple, crunchy salad is loaded with texture and flavor.

    SUMMER CORN SALAD

    RED WHITE & BLUE COOKIES

    red white and blue cookies on a plate

    These are a little simpler than my Star Spangled Cookies above, but still patriotic and pretty enough to get the point across 😉🇺🇸

    BRUSCHETTA

    Homemade bruschetta drizzled with balsamic reduction

    Great now if you can get your hands on some juicy ripe tomatoes. Even better in the summertime when you can pick them fresh from your own garden.

    STRAWBERRY MARGARITA GRANITAS

    Strawberry margarita in a turbinado sugar rimmed glass

    Bound to be the most refreshing and most highly sought-after drink at the party.

    POTATO SALAD

    Potato Salad in white bowl, memorial day recipe option

    Last but not least, my favorite potato salad. This is probably my newest recipe on the list, and I’m so glad to have heard back already that so many of you have made and enjoyed this one!

    Get the Recipe!

    So, what are you making for Memorial day weekend?

    PS. Remember, at the end of the day, the real significance of this day isn’t the food, it’s about honoring the sacrifices that have been made by our military 🇺🇸
