Labor Day Menu Ideas

This is a list of all our delicious Labor Day Menu ideas that will keep your day easy breezy and so delicious!

Whether you are lounging by the pool or attending a patriotic parade, we’ve got you. We have quintessential recipes perfect for a long weekend. Labor Day is a federal holiday, that was established in order to celebrate the “American worker”. The truth is, the way we all hustle and move around all year long, it is nice to get a day to relax. We love to hang out with our favorite people, and of course it goes without saying, cook and eat and chill.

These Labor Day Menu ideas cover whatever your mood. We grouped the recipes into cold appetizers, grilled mains and the others are perfect to pop in the oven. We know that you can’t have a proper party without sides. So you can pair any of them with amazing sides like Pasta salad  Mac n Cheese  Cuban Rice salad Asparagus and Pea Salad Roasted Corn or our Mini Roasted Peppers with Caper Cream Sauce

You can’t go wrong. All these recipes are perfect for gathering all your favorite people! 

Refreshing Labor Day Appetizers:

These cool and crisp appetizers are perfect to beat the heat. They are great on their own or paired with something from the grill. September brings the heat, so we thought it would be a good idea to have a few items on the menu that are light and fresh.

Labor Day Grilling in the Great Outdoors:

This Labor Day Menu is dedicated to all of those who are the masters of the grill. All these recipes can be done in an outdoor grill, and all of these items are going to be big crowd pleasers. Just imagine the savory taste of sriracha wings with that charcoal finish. Yum! If you like the sound of some of these ideas, but don’t have access to a grill, don’t worry. They can also make all of these in a cast iron pan or a griddle.
