With Summer fun comes a lot of heat! So, you might be wondering how you can stay hydrated and refreshed while being outdoors enjoying the nice weather. For starters, how about checking out these easy on-the-go tasty food and beverage trends from TikTok?!

 

1. Italian Grinder Sandwich Salads

If you have been scrolling through TikTok recently, you will likely see examples of the grinder salad being made. This straightforward salad is produced by first preparing a dressing made with mayonnaise and Italian dressing, then adding iceberg lettuce, pepperoncini peppers, sliced red onions, and plenty of seasonings. The creamy grinder salad is served on top of thick bread with a crispy exterior, sliced cheese of your choosing, and Italian-style meats such as salami and prosciutto. Perfect for grabbing on the go and eating in the car or packing for a summer picnic. (But be warned -- it can get messy!)

 

Move over, Subway; it looks like a new hoagie is in town. And it's here to stay all summer long!

 

There's no right or wrong way to make this mouth-watering sandwich; check out how the grinder is made with a Mezzetta Twist!

2. Watermelon Pizza

There is nothing quite like a nice slice of cool, thirst-quenching watermelon to satisfy your appetite on a hot day. Even though a simple slice of watermelon is delicious on its own, it'll taste even better if you spice things up by giving the fruit a little bit of a twist. First, you cut the watermelon to get nice even cuts. Afterward, spread on Cool Whip and top that off with any berries or fruit you love, and voilà! Watermelon pizza!

 

 

3. Pink Whitney Starburst Slushies

You can turn this alcoholic beverage into a non-alcoholic beverage by simply replacing the lemonade vodka with regular pink lemonade. First, you fill your blender with ice and whatever drink you want in it, add some pink Starburst along with the pink Starburst single to-go powder mix, and you're done. Wasn't that easy?

 

And to turn the party up a notch, you can even turn the drink into jello shots! How cool and yummy is that?

 

4. Fritos Corn Chip Dip

The ingredients for this party dish are as simple as 3 cans of fiesta corn, 3/4 of a cup of mayonnaise, 1 cup of sour cream, 2 cups of shredded cheese, and any seasonings that you choose to use. The next step is to combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, and then you are ready to serve, dip, and enjoy!

 

5. Creamy Lemonade

Are you tired of regular lemonade? How about trying this sweet and creamy refresher? All that is required for you to do is juice 4 lemons into a pitcher, add 1/4 cup cane sugar, a 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 2 sliced lemons, and ice along with two glasses of water. And, most importantly, don’t forget to stir!
