Thanks for linking up with Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. As Memorial Day is the official start to the summer BBQ season, it’s not too early to start planning for your first BBQ of 2019. I am sharing a few of my Meatless Memorial Day BBQ Faves for inspiration. Hope a few of mine become faves of yours too.
Meatless Memorial Day BBQ Faves
5 layer Mediterranean Rice Dip
Take all of your favorite Mediterranean foods and pile them high into one delicious rice based dip. Dig in!
Summer Bounty Pearled Cous Cous
Sumer squash, cous cous, corn and tomato blend together in this tasty summer salad everyone will love.
Sicilian Summer Pasta Salad
A light pasta salad with white beans, tomatoes, arugula and a tangy lemon dressing. One of my all time favorite pasta salads.
Bourbon Baked Beans
A tangy, vegan spin on a class Memorial Day side dish. Worth a little extra time to create.
Eggplant & White Bean Burgers
Eggplant and white beans blend together to form the most delicious veggie burger option. I make this one over and over again all year around.
Spicy Cauliflower and White Bean Burgers
Cauliflower makes a great base for meatless veggie burgers. I love all of the flavors in here.
So, which of my Meatless Memorial Day BBQ Faves look good to you? What’s on your menu? Staying home over Memorial Day or traveling?
That pasta salad looks really good! I’ll be away for the weekend so I’m not sure that we will be doing any cooking!
Hope you are going somewhere fun!
Baked beans screams summer BBQ to me. I can’t wait to check out that recipe!
They take a bit of time but oh so worth it!
I think I have all of these recipes pinned! I want to BBQ with you.
Now that would be fun!
Yum! These look like some awesome options, can’t wait to try the pasta salad.
one of my favorite all year around dishes
I’m coming to your Memorial Day party! These all look so tasty- can’t wait to try.
Well that would be fun!
That 5 Layer Mediterranean dip sounds delish!
It was a good one-a crowd pleaser for sure
Memorial Day Did sneak up on us, I think it may be because we really didn’t have much of a spring and its still pretty cold here. I would gladly eat all of these at a party!
Yes it does not really feel like summer pool weather yet does it?!
I will have to work on Memorial Day unfortunately. But I am not a burger and hot dog fan anyway. I prefer the salads and side dishes.
The salads and sides are the best part!
I”m all about Mediterranean food, so the 5 layer dip and the pasta salad definitely look like those could be favorites of mine! Let the BBQ season begin!
Thanks! yes bring it on
These look delicious!! Especially that Sicilian Summer Pasta Salad! Yum! We don’t do a whole lot of BBQ’s…just one for fourth of July and I usually make a crunchy sweet kale salad to take along.
I love the kale salads too!
I can’t believe it’s almost summer! That pasta salad recipe looks delicious!
I know summer just kind of popped up! Thanks the pasta salad is one of my faves
Those all look like perfect BBQ side dishes! We don’t have a lot of plans right now. We will probably do a bbq and hang out at the pool or something.
That sounds perfect!
So many yummy dishes for any summery occasion! Love all the freshness!
Thanks so much
Ooh, I’d forgotten about that Tuscan Pasta Salad! It looks so delicious! I love pasta salad. 🙂
I do too! Great post run fuel
These all look delicious! I can’t believe it’s almost Memorial Day,
I know it really came on quickly!
Who needs MEAT when you have these crowd pleasers?!?!! But seriously – eggplant and white bean burgers sound legit!
These all look good! I’ll be eating left-over graduation cake on Memorial Day LOL
Ooh that’s always good! 🙂
Awesome ideas! I especially love the sound of the pearled couscous salad!
thanks it’s a good one!
Everything looks sooo delicious Deborah. Luckily we have warm weather over here and we are planning on having BBQ this weekend. I think I’ll make something from this list. Bourbon baked beans … I think everyone will love this.
The bourbon baked beans take some time but they are sure worth it!
Mmmm these all sound so yummy!!!
Thanks so much now we just need the weather to cooperate enough for a BBQ 🙂
That Summer Pasta Salad looks so good. I’ll be pinning it for later – thanks for sharing!
Thanks for checking it out hope you have a chance to make it
That 5 layer Mediterranean dip looks scrumptious! I pinned that baby and will definitely try making that this summer! What do you suggest for a base? Memorial Day weekend will be pretty busy for me – two parades and my daughter is moving out! I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
I used rice as a base but I do think any grain will work really well in there. Everyone loved it!
My mouth is watering looking at your pasta salad. Pasta salads are always perfect for BBQs and go with so many main courses.
I do love a good pasta salad!
All the dishes look yummy, especially the summer pasta salad and bourbon baked beans!
I don’t think I can convince my meat loving dad to go totally vegetarian on memorial day but i’m going to throw a beyond meat burger on the grille for myself!
Those beyond meat burgers are one of my go to meals weekly they are delish. I’m excited to make the Bourbon baked beans myself
Those all look delish! I love the pearled couscous salad. Yum! We will probably do grilled veggies and salmon, but I should add one of these as a great side.
That would go nicely together!
These are all great options!
Thanks I’m excited to get into the summer dishes again
I’ll take all of them, please. Great choices for Memorial Day. Thanks for hosting!
One day we will have to cook together! 😊
These are all great ideas! We just got an invite to a Memorial Day BBQ and I was struggling with trying to decide what to bring so perfect timing 🙂
The cous cous salad is calling my name, looks so good! Perfect for Memorial Day weekend or any summer picnic.
I’m looking forward to my summer salads again
Well, these all look tempting…. but I’m most captivated by the burgers!! Both of this look especially delish!!
Thanks hope you give them a try. I am excited for all my summer faves
