memorial day weekend BBQs

I don't know what Memorial Day weekend is like everywhere else, but here in Durango, Colorado it is a three-day bicycle and BBQ love fest. There are numerous events as part of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic ranging from the 52-mile ride/race to Silverton (that we'll be doing), to a mountain bike race, to a 10-mile or 5K run, to a criterium (and a cruiser criterium), and even a swim!

In additional to all those active-ities, there are always BBQs galore. We actually have 3 BBQs: one Saturday, one Sunday, and one Monday. We aren't personally hosting any of the BBQs but they are pot luck style so I am digging through my recipe pin board to dig up some good BBQ sides. Here is what I have come up with:

• avocado and grilled corn salsa with cilantro vinaigrette
• cucumber salad
• heirloom cherry tomato salsa
• creamy avocado potato salad
• raw vegetable salad

What does your Memorial Day weekend have in store? 

I am taking a 3-day weekend, so there'll be no color post on Monday, but I will be on the blog on Tuesday. See you then!
