If you’re planning a Memorial Day barbecue or attending a potluck, take a cue from celebrity chef Bobby Flay: Aim for simple and delicious.

“Real food does not have to be complicated,” says Flay, one of the Food Network’s Iron Chefs. “With a few basic ingredients, it’s easy to create a meal you can feel good about serving the whole family.”

Prep time for our weekend recipe is 10 minutes, chill time is 20 minutes, and all of the ingredients should be available at a well-stocked natural and organic food store.

You can quadruple the recipe if you’re expecting a crowd.
