Summer is synonymous with beautiful weather, vibrant sunshine, and making memories with the ones you love the most. Spending time camping combines the best elements of the season. To enjoy the experience even more, consider bringing along your grill accessories. Here are a few mouth-watering recipes to try out.

What to Grill This Summer

1. Loaded Cauliflower Steaks

For those in your group who don’t consume meat, a head of cauliflower serves as the perfect substitute. Begin by slicing it into patties equivalent to a thin or medium steak, leaving part of the core there to hold it together. Grill on medium heat until it’s charred, which lends it that quintessential fresh-off-the-grill flavor. Make sure to season it with your toppings of choice for a flavorful finish. Common options include salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, cheese, and dressing.

2. Tropical Pineapple Chicken

There are often debates about the merits of pineapple on pizza, but few can argue how it complements juicy chicken. The acidic fruit tenderizes the meat, while its natural sugar content lends the chicken a distinctive caramelized finish during the grilling process. 

To prepare it, whisk pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar together, then use it to marinate the chicken overnight. Grill on high, then add fresh pineapple rings and grill until they’re charred.

3. Grilled Apricot Salad

Grilling fruits adds a unique and decidedly different flavor profile that many people can't get enough of. Lightly brush halved apricots with oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill on high until they’re slightly charred. Then, combine them with your greens of choice, along with ham and vinegar. The effect is cool, refreshing, and perfect for brightening up your outdoor adventures.
