Ahh, summer is almost upon us! I love the warmer weather and the wonderful fresh meals that this season entails. Here are my favorite summer meals from 5 Dollar Dinners:

5 Summer Meal Ideas

Avocado Chicken Tacos

So much flavor! You'll love these savory tacos!

Grilled Chicken Spinach Pesto Pasta

Fresh and filling!

Corn Salad

This is one of my favorite summer side dishes. It is a change from the classic corn on the cob and is a great make ahead dish to bring on a picnic.

Shrimp Kabobs with Creamy Dijon Dill Sauce

This sauce is delicious! It is zippy like cocktail sauce, but with a dijon flavor!

Sesame Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps Recipe

A delightful sauce that dresses up pulled pork lettuce wraps. It's quick to mix up with common ingredients and cooks beautifully with the pork roast.

What is your favorite summer meal?
