We know that the star of the show at cookouts is whatever goes on the grill. But every star needs a runner up! This is a collection of recipes from HSH that will be PERFECT for your next cookout!
Perfect Summer Pasta Salad
This pasta salad could be a meal or a snack and is a perfect representation of our guideline of three! The guideline of three is something we use to help you create delicious, balanced meals. It asks you to fill that plate or bowl, with three food groups and three colors - minimum.
This recipe has: protein, carbs and many colors that happen to be fruits and veggies and it has fat too.
It packs so many flavors AND like every one of the recipes we share, it is totally customizable to your needs.
Don’t like feta? No biggie, try mozz or goat cheese! Not a strawberry fan? Totally cool, this would be DELISH with watermelon or pineapple or even a nectarine - wow I need to try all combos!
Corn and Bean Summer Salad
What isn’t to love about this recipe? From the creamy avocado to the juicy corn, to the fresh tomatoes, all bases are covered! And it’s the perfect accompaniment to the smoky main dish.
Watermelon and Mint Salad
Enjoy this as a savory desert or sweet side! There’s no better recipe to ring in watermelon season than this.
Grinder Sandwich- But a Salad
Who does not LOVE a Grinder sandwich? Taking the base of a recipe and switching it up for variety has been a game changer for me! And this protein packed salad has me feeling so satisfied I keep coming back to it!

With endless flavor combinations, this is a recipe you can use all summer to make hydration more fun and refreshing!
