Yesterday, we posted our favorite burger recipes for Memorial Day cookouts. Today, we’ll focus on the side dishes. These dishes are great for barbecues or potlucks and can easily be prepared on the grill while you are making the main dish. Too often, the grill gets passed over for the stove or the oven, so we wanted to highlight grilled side dishes today. Every dish deserves the smoky flavors of the grill and these are two of our favorites.
Grilled Garlic Bread and Tomato Salad
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir oil and garlic in a small bowl; brush both sides of slices.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill bread 5 minutes on each side until slightly charred. Remove to cutting board; cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Place bread pieces, tomatoes, blue cheese, onion, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl; toss until mixture is combined.
Notes
Think beyond the basics when using your outdoor grill for sides. If you like baked garlic bread, you’ll love it grilled. Plus, the Hamilton Beach GrillStation™ 5 Burner Gas Grill creates beautiful grill marks, adding to the rustic presentation of this delicious salad.
It was so great seeing your team at BlogHer Food! Love the color and vibrancy of the Grilled Corn Salad!

Corn salad looks great!
The corn salad is really good. I added some red and yellow peppers. I had to make more dressing to add. Now I know, I will do more in the begining.
Martha, adding red and yellow peppers is a great idea! We’re glad you enjoyed this summer side dish recipe this weekend.
