Healthy BBQ Recipes

We fire up the grill and invite friends and neighbors over to celebrate holidays and birthdays. A pleasant outdoor barbeque may be thought of as a summertime tradition. When you decide to go to a BBQ, you may think you have to give up your healthy diet, but nothing could be farther from the truth.

When planning your menu for a barbecue, there are a ton of delicious and healthy options from which to choose. There are many ways to eat nutritiously at a barbecue.

Here are a couple of my top picks for healthy summertime menu items.

Appetizers

Ingredients for guacamole include 3 mashed avocados, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 chopped onion, 1 diced tomato, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and optionally, jalapenos. Combine all ingredients, then indulge!

Pizza With Watermelon
Like a pizza, slice the watermelon and cut it into triangles. Add feta cheese (optional), drizzle with vinegar from balsa and top with sliced almonds or walnuts. Add whatever other fruits you choose, including pomegranate seeds, strawberries, or blueberries.

Filling for Mushrooms
De-stem the mushrooms. Olive oil should be drizzled over the mushrooms before adding any preferred toppings. I’d recommend onion, spinach, and minced garlic. For desired softness, cook asparagus at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 45 minutes.

Main Courses

Skewers of shrimp
Put prawns on skewers and add fresh lemon juice on top. Add fresh herbs of your choosing and freshly cracked black pepper before grilling the food until it is fully done.

Burger Portobello
Olive oil should be drizzled over the portobello mushrooms before grilling them. Burger buns made from portobello mushrooms. Sandwich your preferred burger (veggie, black bean, which is turkey that is etc.) between two portobello mushrooms. Enjoy after adding your preferred toppings!

Grilled Veggies
Just that simple, yet oh very tasty! Olive oil and fresh herbs should be drizzled over your preferred vegetables (I strongly suggest squash red pepper, and eggplant). Cook food to the desired softness.

Aside dishes

Dill and Cucumber Salad
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons carefully chopped dill, 3 sliced cucumbers, 1 sliced white onion, one-third of a cup of white or cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1 stalk sliced green onion. Before serving, combine all the ingredients and chill.

Tomato and Chickpea Salad
Ingredients: 1 can of rinsed garbanzo beans; 1 tablespoon minced garlic; 1 cup chopped cucumber; 1/2 cup chopped parsley; 2 cups cut-in-half cherry tomatoes; 1/3 cup olive oil; 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar; coarsely cracked black pepper. Mix everything together, then chill.

Ingredients for avocado potato salad are 2 pounds of tiny red potatoes, 3 mashed avocados, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and freshly cracked black pepper. Cook potatoes until they are soft. Add the other ingredients after cutting the potatoes.

Desserts

banana and chocolate ice cream
2 bananas; three cups of cacao powder are the ingredients. Banana slices should be frozen for 30-45 minutes. cacao powder and frozen bananas are blended. Blend till smooth, then add any more toppings of your choosing.
