My Family’s Favorite Memorial Day Potluck Menu

by Minette Riordan

I love Memorial Day and for many years we hosted a pool party and barbecue at our home. The pool is just getting warm enough, it’s not too terribly hot out yet and everyone is ready for the beginning of summer!

It’s fun to do a potluck menu. We always do the barbecue and ask everyone to bring one of the other dishes to share.

So I used my own and it only added a few minutes to the total prep time plus you can use whatever you have on hand.
