Picnic Perfect: Appetizers, Sides and Salads for Memorial Day Weekend

May 24, 2014

Many backyard barbecues will be ablaze this holiday weekend with succulent ribs, tender chicken and juicy burgers. But every great party calls for some tasty accoutrements to help dress up the main dish. No barbecue would be the same without some delicious baked beans, try these Smoky Baked Beans. And bake up some of these scrumptious Cheesy Potato Corn Scones in lieu of the traditional cornbread. Read on for more picnic perfect appetizers, sides and salads, including my favorite Watermelon, Feta and Mint salad.
