Labor Day is a time to gather with family and friends and enjoy good food. Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue or a potluck party, these Labor Day meal ideas are sure to please.
1. Grilled Chicken Kabobs:
Marinate chunks of chicken in your favorite marinade (we recommend a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs) for at least an hour. Skewer the chicken with chunks of bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Grill the kabobs until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
2. BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches:
Slow cook pork shoulder in a mixture of BBQ sauce and chicken broth until it’s tender and falls apart. Shred the pork and pile it high on a toasted bun. Top with coleslaw and extra BBQ sauce for a delicious and hearty sandwich.
3. Grilled Corn on the Cob:
Soak ears of corn in water for at least 30 minutes. Grill the corn until it’s slightly charred, turning it every few minutes. Brush the corn with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Watermelon Feta Salad:
Cut watermelon into bite-size pieces and mix with crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh mint, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. This fresh and flavorful salad is the perfect complement to any Labor Day meal.
5. Grilled Steak and Potato Skewers:
Cut sirloin steak and potatoes into bite-size pieces. Marinate the steak in a mixture of olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and rosemary for at least an hour. Skewer the steak and potatoes and grill until the steak is cooked to your liking and the potatoes are tender.
These Labor Day meal ideas are just the beginning. Get creative in the kitchen and try new recipes and flavors. And don’t forget the drinks and desserts! Cheers to a delicious and fun Labor Day celebration!
