Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have passed away while serving in the United States military. It’s also a day when families and friends gather to celebrate the start of summer and enjoy a delicious meal together. If you’re hosting a Memorial Day party, it’s the perfect opportunity to fire up your grill and serve up some star-spangled delights. Here are some menu ideas that are sure to please your guests.
Appetizers
Start your Memorial Day meal off right with light appetizers. You don’t want people too full of appetizers and miss the main event.
Cheese and crackers are a good choice, especially when it’s Sourdough Cheese Herb Crackers. Serve them with Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese.

If you want some street food, street dogs and elotes.
More Protein for the Grill
When you have fired up your grill but still serving appetizers, you will love Gambas Al Ajillo or Barbecued Chili Garlic Shrimp. They are amazing tasting, and you might have some guests jostling for the last one! They also make a good choice for those who don’t like meat but like fish.
Sides & Salads
Desserts
And for dessert, you can’t go wrong with an apple pie. The cheddar phyllo pie is very easy to make, but if you don’t want to do any baking, consider this no-bake wafer cake.
Memorial Day is a time to remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. It’s also a time to celebrate with family and friends and enjoy some delicious food. Whether you’re firing up the grill or keeping it simple with some cold cuts and salads, your Memorial Day menu will surely delight your guests. So grab a cold drink, kick back, and enjoy the start of summer with those you love.
