Hot-Off-The-Grill Recipes For Camping Trips

Is the great outdoors calling you this summer? Whether you’re going deep into the wilderness or pitching a tent closer to home, the experience of sleeping under the stars and waking up in the fresh open air is incomparable. Deciding what to bring—and cook—is half the adventure. With a little planning, you can prepare summery meals that go beyond basic hot dogs and hamburgers.

We designed the perfect menu for summer camping trips (or backyard barbecues), including make-ahead Honey-Granola Cookies and crowd-pleasing Crispy Grilled Chicken. Time to fire up the grill!

Charred Corn Salad

Serves 4

The creamy, cool texture of this salad marries well with grilled meats, seafood, and chicken. Opt for organic corn if possible. Add a handful of arugula for a slightly spicy kick.

2 ears fresh sweet corn, shucked

¾ cup halved cherry tomatoes (optional)

1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks

¼ cup sliced red onion

3 Tbs. crumbled goat cheese, divided

2 Tbs. lime juice or distilled white vinegar kosher salt, to taste

1. Grill corn over medium heat, turning often, until kernels begin to blacken, about 10 minutes. Remove corn from grill. When corn is cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cob and place them in bowl. (You should have about 1 cup.) Add tomatoes, avocado chunks, and red onion.

2. In separate bowl, whisk together 2 Tbs. goat cheese and lime juice, and season with salt, to taste. Drizzle goat cheese sauce over corn mixture, and toss to combine. Divide salad into four portions, and top with remaining goat cheese.
