From sizzling, savory meals on the grill to festive fruit skewers, we’ve got all the recipe inspiration you need for a memorable celebration!

Sizzling Citrus Barbecue

Is it really a summer celebration without the mouthwatering smell of something tasty sizzling on the grill? Fire up the grill to prep zesty Darling Lemon® chicken skewers, or mix things up with a tangy Darling Orange® teriyaki steak!

 

Snacking on Sunshine

Grazing boards are a year-round staple when hosting a crowd, and the best way to lighten them up during the warmer seasons? You guessed it - citrus! Darling Mandarins® are a staple effortlessly delicious addition thanks to their easy-peel and naturally bite-sized segments. Be sure to add sweet slices of Darling Minneolas®, Darling Cara Caras®, and Darling Grapefruit® while they’re in peak season. Finish off your spread by adding bunches of grapes to any unfilled spaces on your board!
