This Monday is Labor Day in the United States. It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of the country. For many, it’s a weekend to relax, spend time with family and, of course, barbecue! Some of you might even be embarking a Holland America Line cruise. We love to host a good barbecue for our guests, and many of our cruises are enhanced by festive parties out on the Lido Deck where barbecue delicacies take center stage on the menu. From traditional favorites like chicken to more exotic entrees like salmon, there are many ways to serve up fantastic barbecue dishes. Here are two of Holland America Line’s favorite barbecue recipes to assist you this weekend as you fire up the grill and barbecue for family and friends.
