The perfect picnic foods are those that travel well! Pack sandwiches, pasta salad, fruit, wraps, chips, veggies, dip or salsa, refreshing drinks and a make-ahead dessert like brownies or cookies.  

Nothing says summertime like a backyard BBQ. Cook up BBQ favorites like BBQ chicken, hot dogs, burgers, corn on the cob, potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans and grilled veggies. Prep toppings for hot dogs and burgers like onion, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, grilled mushrooms, cheese and more. And don’t forget some fresh watermelon or grilled pineapple for a refreshing dessert! For more inspiration, browse our BBQ Recipe Collection.

When the weather is hot, nothing is better than an ice-cold drink. We suggest serving iced tea, lemonade, infused water, soda or pop and adult beverages like beer or hard seltzer at your next summer soirée. Shop a selection of delicious and affordable beverages at your local ALDI.
