There is much that is synonymous with the tranquility of summer. Ventosa clothes, days with the sun and, of course, barbecue season. It is time to take your meetings outdoors, passing the dining room to a dedicated picnic table. Friends stop without warning and are welcome with open arms.
With high vibrations and our phones not to disturb (except to take some photos), there is no better way to start the summer than with a dinner to celebrate. And, of course, the perfect place to start is with some infallible barbecue snacks under the sleeve.
30 barbecue snacks your summer dinner needs
When it comes to summer applications, the objective is to incorporate the fresh flavors of the season in each bite. That means serving dishes that are heavy in herbs (dressing of green goddess), highlighting fresh summer (eggplant sauce) and go with the perfect margarita (guacamole!). Prepare your tasteless papillae and get ready to dive.
Sauces and propagations
Spring raw with dressing of green goddess
There is a reason why the green dressing of the goddess is viral. To start, it’s beautiful. Thanks to a cup of mixed herbs of their choice, a few tablespoons of chives and the fresh bite of Perejley, is the perfect accompaniment for their favorite crispy vegetables. I like to organize a big more flat and put it on the table so that everyone passes as they want. A central piece and a snack, all in one? Bright.
Smoked eggplant sauce
For me, eggplant is a basic summer element. I love roasting it in the oven, enjoy it in Ratatouille or collect large tablespoons or drool dump with toasted pita. This recipe is a nearby cousin of the third option, taking all the creamy delight of the traditional appetizer and adding a smoked and spicy edge.
Immersion and crudité grazing board
When it comes to dinner outdoors, finding snacks that are kept in heat is the biggest obstacle. Fortunately, with simple casualties and fresh vegetables appeared on this grazing board, it is never easier to build a snack that gained melting or fall when the sun rises.
Guacamole
This Guacamole recipe from Virgilio Martínez’s book, The Latin American cookbook, Doos do not take too much time in the kitchen, which makes it perfect for those days when you want to leave. With a fresh serrano (or pepper of his choice) for a heat kick, and three beautifully mature avocados, it is a challenge to lower the chips.

This dish is not only light and tasty, but it is impressive. Wow, to your guests taking out this green vibrant they extend in a bowl, or serve in beautiful pretty glasses. Nor could it be like that, simply throw all your ingredients in a food processor.
Corn guacamole on Bhutta Street
I have very different summer memories of throwing corn on the back cover with my mother. Enjoying corn in the cob is a summer need, but adding it to guacamina? Sign it! This Indian -inspired guacamole recipe turns the traditional recipe by spicing it with chat masala. Delicious.
A vegetarian tray with ranch dressing can remind you of the prepared foods section of the grocery store. But take it from me, a vegetable board full of fresh summer products and a homemade ranch raises vegetables and immerses the summer raws that everyone will love.
Meal
Pican marinated olives
Charcerie is always an atmosphere, and the thesis olives have a blow. Put them on the hummus, Baba Ganoush, or simply mebelles for them.
Hummus toaster with tomatoes, feta cheese and za’atar
Hummus is one of those dives that can easily resist summer temperatures and have an incredible flavor. If you are looking for a way to use leftovers (or maybe try your new homemade recipe), you are toast with hummus and fresh tomato slices are light and satisfactory.

A sweet and tasty Bruschetta? Being still, my heart. This funny -traditional Bruschetta turn will surely be a complement to the crowd. What does not love a plum and juicy plum combined with rich and creamy ricotta?
Arthoke & Pea Crostini
These crostini – made with a fresh spring peas pesto – stunned with fresh herbs, perfect for a warmer climate and longer days. Add a tasty artichoke portion at the top and will have a horsepower recipe for which everyone aspires.
Classic Easy Bruschetta
Bruschetta is one of the easy barbecue snacks in the game, and is the one that I always turn to when I need to serve something, stat. He robbed his mother mass (brushed with a lot of bear or course) and mixes his mixture of tomatoes, garlic and herbs. Let the Bruschetta feel and cover its slices. Bonus: It is almost the most beautiful (edible) that you will find on a plate.
Loaded fried sweet potatoes
In the world of barbecue snacks, fries will always reign supreme. You are welcome to serve the standard thick gold wedges, but loaded fried potatoes are even better. This recipe relies on our favorite fries (we use Alexia). Simply prepare them according to the package instructions and superior to the delight of your heart.

While the nachos are always welcome at any summer meeting, if you are looking for barbecue snacks that rely on the lighter side, do thesis. His gluten -free friends will rejoice, happy to enjoy this classic summer snack. And he thought you would never guess the pile of cheese (plants based) on the top, vegan guests also put snacks.
Salads
Simple potato salad with smoked Chile Alioli
Nothing says summer as potato salad. But friends, this is not the classic gloppy salad that your grandmother favored (he thought we all have a special place in our hearts for his recipe). You throw potatoes with fork turtles with a dressing similar to alioli composed of eggs, garlic, lemon and a lot of olive. It is easy and brings a beautiful and organic sensation to your table.
Sandía Tomato Cappress Salad
Or all the many Italian dishes that I cannot get enough or, Capore has the best billing. This riff in the classic adds watermelon to the mixture, touching the sweetness of the tomatoes. The result is a light and refreshing salad that is the perfect fun-fouche for a hamburger or steak.
Tomato salad
Summer is not summer without tomatoes. This salad could not be simpler and is completely delicious. All you need are tomatoes, onions, garlic, oil, lemon juice and salt. This combo really makes the tomatoes shine: it is true, it is true that you do not need much to make a summer relic tomato delicious that alone.
Capapate Avocado Salad
As if Capore could improve: add avocado to tomato, basil and mozzarella only hits different. The additional creaminess and butter flavor adding the avocados give this salad a fun and unexpected touch.
Green salad with sesame dressing
Spoiler Alert: The salad does not have to be boring. What establishes this separate salad? Furikake, salty pistachos, Parmesan and a creamy dressing of Tahini. Yum!
Mediterranean Collized Collized Salad
I could easily eat Mediterranean food for the rest of my life and feel totally satisfied. The Mediterranean ingredients are fresh and tasty and reach the act, especially in the summer. This salad is no different! Be sure to massage your curly and take your vegetables from the farmers market for this BBQ snack.
Strawberry Burrata Salad
Strawberries are in their peak in the summer. It is obvious to enjoy a strawberry salad this season, and this playful turn in Capore combines the berry with creamy burrata. Serve with crispy bread and enjoy.
Picada Radicchio Salad
While Radicchio is in season that turns the winter months, this type of lettuce is an impressive ingredient to add to its summer menu. Cannelini beans and sweet potatoes add a little heart to their bowl, while pickles on pickle and tasty lemon vinaigrette add a touch of brightness.
Bitter, citrus and prosciutto vegetable salad
Wow, Ok, this combo should be studied for all the glory that brings to your salad dish. The bitterness of the radicchio, combined with the sweetness of the oranges and the salinity of the ham, is truly *the kiss of chef *. Do not let the summer pass you without trying this.
Green Italian sauce
Alison and Jay Carroll served this green sauce at their home in Joshua Tree that we visited last month. And say that we were stunned by its complex flavor is euphemism. While it is possible that it is more familiar with the Mexican green sauce, which has a sweeter tomato base, this Italian turn is more acidic and offers a delicious flavor blow. Green olives, a few olive oil and herbs glugs are all you need to do it.
Skewers
Paneer Tikka Kebabs
Since Paneer does not have much flavor, our food editor Suruchi recommends going everything in the marinade. With a small mixture of yogurt and tons of spices that bind to marinate the paneer during the night, the taste is delicious and combines well with its fresh vegetables.
Shrimp Brochones with Tzatziki
Could it really be a list of the best BBQ snacks without skewers? They are one of the easiest summer recipes and can be customized infinitely. I love this combination of light and juicy shrimp with colorful and substantial vegetables. Try the rainbow, all of you.
Watermelon, Feta Cheese and Moras skewers
For a lighter skewer option (and a fun and festive way to enjoy its fruit), they are a perfect bite before dinner. Watermelon and feta cheese balance with each other with a combination of sweet and salty taste, while blackberries add a juicy and sour flavor that is difficult to overcome.
Tables
Fish board with stamps
This recipe is really the secret weapon of the great host. It is a highly underestimated barbecue appetizer and it is not something you see on the table. Everything you need are some fish selections with a beef, fresh crispy cookies and a variety or creamy cheeses.
Summer Cheese Board
A cheese board is appropriate for any season, but a specific summer as a barbecue appetizer is a special enchantment. Opt for softer cheeses like Brie and Chèvre (these work better in the heat than hard cheeses) and summer fruit. Edible flowers are optional, but add the sweetest touch.
Ricotta board with pears and roasted pistachos in honey
The pears are in season from August, and this board is the perfect gift for the end of summer. Be generous with complete ricotta and add slices of sweet pear to a table for a perfect snack to take and carry.
