A taste of summer is served.
Memorial Day Weekend will look a little different than it did last year and in a good way with vaccinated Americans able to gather with friends and loved ones at outdoor barbecues and picnics to celebrate the unofficial kick-off of summer.
Roberta Pipito, chef and founder of culinary brand Homemade Delish, shared her take on the all-American spread with a spicy Bleu cheese-stuffed burger, tequila-based cocktail and a refreshing summer salad.
"We all love a classic Memorial Day burger or summer salad, but let’s give these classics a little twist and welcome back summer with a bang," Pipito told Fox.
Here’s how to make the indulgent meal and the best cocktail pairing to wash it down with.
