Believe it or not, summer is already on its way out, which means we’re quickly coming up on the last grill-centric holiday of the season: Labor Day! Of course, if you’re hosting a get-together with friends or family, there will obviously be some labor involved—that part is unavoidable.
Thankfully, Taylor Farms is ready to assist by cutting down on the amount of labor needed to create some deliciously memorable dishes for your friends and family.
Here are some mouth-watering recipes you can quickly assemble for your guests with a handy, strategic assist from Taylor Farms products, ranging from our Chopped Salad Kits to our Vegetable Blends.
If you plan on grilling up some steaks this holiday weekend, we strongly advise you to set some aside for this crowd-pleasing flatbread recipe. All you need is some premade pizza dough, a bit of blue cheese, and our Steakhouse Wedge Chopped Salad Kit. Perfectly grilled steak is right at home on a bed of warm flatbread and topped with the tantalizing combination of crisp romaine lettuce, chopped broccoli stalk, red and savoy cabbage, green onion, carrots, crispy-fried onions, crumbles of smoky bacon, traditional steakhouse seasoning, and decadent blue cheese dressing—all contained in this one convenient kit.
Grilled chicken is a staple during grilling season—here’s a dilly new way to enjoy it. This recipe takes honey mustard-marinated, grilled chicken breasts with a touch of rosemary and sets it atop a freshly prepared Dill Pickle Chopped Salad Kit that’s bursting with briney flavor thanks to toppings like dill pickle brioche croutons and a zesty, creamy dill pickle ranch dressing. The result is an utterly satisfying salad fresh off the grill that hits all the marks of classic summer flavors.
This completely vegetarian dish is a great option for those looking for an all-veggie grill recipe to enjoy during the holiday festivities. An assortment of veggies, tofu, and pineapple are all slathered in teriyaki sauce, flame-kissed to charred perfection, and served atop a bed of our Asian Chopped Salad Kit featuring savoy cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, celery, green onion, crispy wontons, toasted almonds, and our light Asian sesame dressing.
If you’re looking for a different type of protein to slap on the grill, why not try some cheese?
But not just any cheese: halloumi cheese. This Eastern Mediterranean favorite has a high smoke point and firmer texture than ordinary cheeses, making it perfect for the grill. Slice up some strawberries and toss it all on top of our Sweet Kale Chopped Salad Kit, and you’ve got yourself a surprisingly filling salad that gives you a delicious balance of summer-inspired tangy, sweet, and savory flavors—and you still got to use the grill.
Grilled pizzas, anyone? As it turns out, grilled pieces of naan bread can serve as the perfect pizza crust for a Mediterranean-inspired pizza—all you need is some hummus as your “sauce,” and maybe some sun-dried tomatoes and caramelized onions. But that’s just the base. The finishing touch of our Mediterranean Crunch Chopped Salad Kit serves up the proper set of toppings, leaving you with a set of quick and easy pizzas that can be prepped in under 15 minutes.
