    Canada Day BBQ Essential Checklist

    By Laura CyraMay 27, 20241 Comment4 Mins Read

    You know summer is official when Canada Day rolls around! Grilling in the backyard while enjoying a long weekend with friends and family is the perfect way to celebrate our country and the kick-off of summer.

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    A few things on my BBQ Essential Checklist are:

    • The Perfect Menu
    • Full propane tank
    • Cold Beverages
    • Backyard Games
    • Paper plates and plastic cutlery

    My perfect menu includes lots of fruits and veggies along with some delicious steak, scallops, and of course salads! I could make a whole meal out of a salad so when we’re planning a BBQ I always look for something new and exciting.

    Snacks in a Royale Tiger Towel Cup

    The biggest hit we’ve had lately is the Royale® Tiger Towel™ cups, families love how easy it is for kids to eat and not make a mess!

    I always want to make one salad that stands out from the rest that’s why I want to share my Aunt’s secret recipe for Simple Summer Salad! I remember eating this as a kid at her house and now I get to make it and serve it to my guests.

    Simple Summer Salad for your Canada Day BBQ Essential Checklist

    Simple Summer Salad Recipe 

    Step 1 – Grab your fresh strawberries and romaine lettuce from the fridge that you prepped when you arrived home from the grocery store. Fill your bowl with lettuce and top with about 2 cups of sliced strawberries.

    To find out my trick on keeping it fresh visit my Summer Grilling Prep Tips post.

    Step 2 – From the pantry grab a package of ramen noodles, 1 cup of walnuts, and 1/4 butter from the fridge. Heat a fry pan and melt the butter, while you wait chop up the noodles and walnuts then add to the pan. Heat for 10 minutes or until golden.

    Step 3 – While the noodles and walnuts cook you can whip up your delicious dressing. You’ll need:

    • 2 T Stevia (honey or agave work too)
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • 2 T red wine vinegar
    • ½ t soy sauce

    Combine ingredients in your favourite dressing shaker and set aside.
