As the weather warms, it’s likely you’re looking forward to summer BBQs, whether for Father’s Day, the Fourth of July, or just get-togethers with friends and family. To help you have the most delicious and eventful BBQ of the season, we’ve put together a list of mouthwatering summer recipes.

When it comes to barbecuing, we tend to think about classic menu items such as burgers, grilled vegetables, and desserts with juicy summer fruits. Walnuts’ taste and texture make them a versatile ingredient that complements so many summer BBQ recipes. Walnuts are also a nutritious addition to your summer recipes, with an excellent source of essential omega-3 ALA (2.5g/oz).

Here’s a tip before you get started: Make sure you have plenty of walnuts on hand for all your summer dishes. To maintain their fresh taste, keep them cold (we recommend in the cheese drawer of your refrigerator).

Without further ado, here are five delightful recipes that are sure to put you and your BBQ guests in the summertime spirit:

This 5-star California Walnut Omega Burger recipe takes less than 30 minutes to pull together, and it utilizes walnut meat, which is a wholesome, plant-based meat alternative. This scrumptious recipe has all the flavor you’d expect from a typical ground beef burger.

This tasty Ricotta-Walnut-Peach Bruschetta appetizer is easy to make and capitalizes on the summer produce and flavors you enjoy most.
