Grilling Recipes for Your Next Party

I don’t know about you, but as soon as it starts warming up outside, I get in the mood to turn on the grill. I love that cooking outside doesn’t heat up the house and that I get to enjoy a breeze and the birds chirping while preparing a meal. There’s something idyllic about it, especially when my daughter brings something out to the deck to play with while I flip burgers or stir the grilled veggies.

When company is coming in the spring and summer months, I turn to grilling often for easy entertaining. Make a pasta salad ahead of time, pop some oil-brushed veggies in the grill basket, and cook your meat right before your guests arrive, and you’ve got an easy plan for the night.

But just in case you’re looking for some barbecuing inspiration, I’ve collected 30 winning grilling recipes that are perfect for your next outdoor dinner party.
