3 Mouth-Watering BBQ Menus

Fire up the grill and prepare to eat well this summer By Andrea Sarjeant, CNP
   

Nothing quite beats the sound of the sizzle when healthy food hits a hot grill. The aroma of the food as it cooks outdoors. The warmth of the sun on your face… Yes, summer's almost here; the time of year we spend with loved ones, basking in the sun, gathered around a hot grill. Because Canadian summers are so fleeting, we’ve gone ahead and finished the meal planning for your next cookout. 
These three BBQ menus will keep you well within your SmartPoints budget while still satisfying all of your cravings. 

 

An Argentinian cookout

 

​Cooking with herbs can boost the nutritional content of your meal while also off-setting some of the chemical changes that happen to foodwhen barbecued. Chimichurri (the official condiment of Argentina) contains parsley, which is rich in antioxidants that help to protect against free radicals that are created when meat is grilled. 

Tip: Serve a platter of lettuce leaves with the flank steak for wrapping.

Modern classic grill-up

 

Just about anything tastes good when grilled over a hot flame. Try this modern twist on a classic cookout, rich in fruit. 

 

Mediterranean meze

 

Rich in health-promoting spices, fibre-full pulses, and small amounts of meat and fish, eating the Mediterranean way has long been studied for its health benefits.  Enjoy this take on a Mediterranean meal of small plates. Add some interesting crudités, like snow peas, radishes, endive, and maybe even a few pickled vegetables to eat with your hummus. Then imagine you’re sitting at a sun-drenched table by the sea.

Are you ready to make a healthy change?
