5 Dishes for Your Summer BBQ

Since today is the 4th of July and I know that everyone will out barbecuing I thought I would share with you 5 Dishes for Your Summer BBQ from my recipe collection. These are dishes that I really enjoy and they work wonderfully in this warm weather.

5 Dishes for Your Summer BBQ

Each of the numbers below correspond to the images in the pictures so you can see what you are making.  Clicking the link will take you to my recipe for each one. ENJOY!

1.)  Mexican Salsa: This is the perfect appetizer! We love it because it is fresh and light. If you are looking for something different as a meat topping this is perfect as well. You can pair it with chicken or pork easily.

2.) Zesty Grilled Pork Chops: Pork chops on the grill…. Need I really say more. These are the perfect summer dish because you get a little spice with all the goodness of grilled meats.

3.) Mexican Potato Salad: I love this potato salad! It is different from most of the store brands and is light. I usually make it the day before because the longer it is allowed to chill the better it is.

4.) Mexican Grilled Corn: A BBQ is not complete without corn on the cob. This version is great because it adds  heat to the sweetness of the corn. However if chili powder is not for you then you can simply omit it.

5.) Avocado Ice Cream: I love having ice cream in the summer because it is that perfect cold treat. Avocado ice cream is different from what we normally have which means it is more of treat. This is light and the perfect end to a perfect day.

  24. I know even less about avocados than you once did. I know I liked the taste. I didn’t know that Mexico has the only natural-blooming avocado tress either. I never heard of avocado ice cream, but why not? Anything called ice cream can’t be anything but delicious and satisfying.

  25. I have never tried avocado ice cream but I absolutely love avocados so I bet I would love it! These recipes have me longing for summer already! It’s going to be a long winter! lol.

  27. I would love to try the Mexican Potato Salad, I love the extra pepper, cumin, yum! Also, I’ve made many different ice creams, but haven’t tried making avocado yet – it looks soo good! I’m so excited that we’re coming into barbecue time!!!
