For many Dads the only gift they want for Father’s Day is a good BBQ spent with their family. If that’s the sentiment of your favorite Dad, give him what he wants with this round-up of delicious BBQ recipes. Use these ideas to create or supplement your own BBQ menu for Dad’s special day.

Appetizer

A barbeque just isn’t a barbeque without chips and salsa! Change it up a little with a light summery mango salsa. This one’s a classic, and you can sweeten it up a little by swapping out the diced pepper for strawberries.

Shrimp makes a great starter whether your main dish is meat or seafood (except shrimp as a main dish of course!). Quick to grill and served with a refreshing dip, these easy appetizers will satisfy any crowd.

Main Dish

For the meat lover, this BBQ Bacon Habanero Burger is the perfect mix of spicy and sweet. Grilled to your individual taste, and topped with bacon, a slice of pineapple and spicy cheese puts all the right flavors into one big juicy bite!

If Dad’s not a fan of all that meat, cheese and bacon, consider a tasty grilled salmon fillet. This one uses just a handful of ingredients so it’s easy to make. Simply grilled and topped with a sweet and tangy glaze will definitely have him calling for seconds!

Sides

Potato salad is a BBQ favorite and there are many different kinds to make. Whether you prefer a lighter taste, a heartier salad, herbed, cheesy, or spicy, you’re sure to find a favorite in this collection. 

If it’s just not summer for you without fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, consider this Gazpacho Macaroni Salad for one of your sides.

Dessert

A simple dessert choice  is to go with classic chocolate brownies – the fudgier the better! Loved by kids and adults alike, brownies are always a hit.

On the fruitier side of dessert, a berry crisp or this summer fruit crostata is a delight. Serve with ice cream for the perfect finish to your perfect BBQ meal!

And if a BBQ Gift Basket is an appropriate gift, we have a few to choose from.
