Simple & Delicious Summer BBQ Recipes

If there’s one thing we love about summer it’s showing off our Evolv Heated Airbrush Tan!

One place we show them off… Summer BBQs!

BBQs are synonymous with summer. We love getting together with our friends and family, and a BBQ is a perfect way to spend time together and enjoy the weather.

If you’re hosting a BBQ or attending one, here are a few delicious recipes you HAVE to try! AND, ( we love this ) they’re all super easy to make.

1 ) Quinoa + Beet + Mint Salad by Sivan Ayla

We love this recipe because it’s delicious, nutritious, and a perfect side.

Plus, if you’re stuck with leftovers ( which we doubt you will be ) it’ll make for a great snack!

You’ll need:

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
