25 Mediterranean Recipes for Your Cookout Menu!

There are a few things I appreciate most about summertime: Atlanta’s endless supply of sunshine (some days, it feels like I’m back in Egypt); sleeping in when I can; and getting together for cookouts!

With Memorial Day weekend upon us, I thought this would be a good time to do a cookout menu with a Mediterranean twist! On this list of 25 Mediterranean recipes are summer favorites from grilled kabobs and lamb chops, to spicy grilled shrimp, lots of bright salads and dips.

Some Mediterranean recipes like my favorite no-mayonnaise spicy potato salad and this last-minute feta cheese dip did not make the cookout menu, only because I wanted to make room for recipes from other sites! You can always dig into The Mediterranean Dish archives for more!
