The days are long, and jorts are everywhere: It’s grilling season. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with classic cookout fare (in my opinion, even the plainest burgers and hotdogs are culinarily perfect), at some point this summer, you’re going to want to spice things up. Luckily, we’ve got 52 recipes—including salads, bread, snacks, mains, and even a dessert—that are sure to keep both you and your grill occupied until Labor Day.
