From grilled chicken to potato salad and pie to parfaits, here are 25+ Memorial Day Recipes perfect for a picnic!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I don’t know about you guys, but I am basically obsessed with all things picnic food related. There’s just something so fun and comforting about firing up the grill, throwing on a couple of burgers, and whipping up the most flavorful and addicting potato salad. Don’t even get me started on all of the delicious no bake desserts and cocktails out there that are also perfect for the ultimate barbecue.

While we are still a little over a month away from Memorial Day, Zach and I have been firing up the grill like crazy lately. We have basically been obsessed with picnic foods, and it’s only the end of April! I hope you guys can find something in this amazing list to serve at your next picnic. I don’t know about you, but I have my eye on those Sweet Maple Barbecue Chicken Kebobs! Enjoy!
