 Beyond Barbecue Basics New Twists on Traditional Grilling Favorites Summer is the perfect time to make any meal a celebration with fun and informal get-togethers. But before you fire-up the grill, consider these tips to put a new twist on traditional barbecue fare: Add variety to your favorite foods: If you serve a dish that has become a classic, try enhancing the recipe. For instance, put some "kick" into your deviled eggs by adding a new spice such as chili powder or red pepper flakes. For dessert, try strawberry flavored-marshmallows instead of regular to create "berry" special s'mores. Substitute a meatless option: If you are growing tired of serving the same old burgers and hot dogs, try a meatless option like MorningStar Farms Grillers or Veggie Dogs. Add sizzle to dessert: Since the grill is already fired-up, take advantage of the hot coals and create desserts that will tempt your guests' taste buds. For example, put some pineapple on the grill, then serve it topped with vanilla ice cream and coconut flakes for a Caribbean-inspired treat. Or, skewer your favorite fruits and make grilled fruit kabobs. Try a new side dish: An interesting new side is a fun and creative way to add flair to your barbecue. This Warm Italian Sausage, Potato and Arugula Salad - made with new MorningStar Farms Veggie Italian Sausage - is a unique alternative to traditional potato salad. The Spicy Black Bean Dip can be served instead of guacamole. To take some of the mess out of outdoor eating, try the Avocado Salad in Lettuce Wraps instead of a tossed salad.
