Let’s Cook! June Dinner Party Menu

It’s summertime! Ready whip up a delicious picnic…

I feel like this menu is kind of a June/July hybrid… although, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you have a July menu too! But when thinking about this one I couldn’t get my mind off of all things picnics! Wether your are have people over or you are packing the cooler for a day at the beach these recipes below won’t let you down. Also I’ve got to be honest with you, I live for a picnic food, ha! Fresh, cold, crisp… when it’s done right 😉 what’s not to love?!

And, as always, there’s plenty of gf/df recipes here for inspiration, and if you’re entertaining this summer, look no further than the full dinner menus from April and May!

P.S. As always, everything will have a gluten- and dairy-free option if it isn’t already GF/DF friendly, so you can proceed with confidence.

Avocado Salsa

I’m into avocado ANYTHING. So this sounds so good! Serve it with tortilla chips or even as a topping for tacos. It’s almost a mash-up of mango salsa and guac, two of my favorite things!
