One of our favorite ways to take advantage of summer weather? Getting friends and family together to eat delicious food outdoors. And the key to any alfresco brunch, backyard barbecue, or beachfront hang is, of course, the food you serve. That’s why we’ve partnered with Aldi and its Good Housekeeping Seal star line Never Any!, which offers up high-quality, preservative-free meats without added hormones or artificial ingredients, to share these five ways to elevate your entertaining game this season.
Brunch for a Crowd
The ultimate outdoor brunch brings family and friends together in a cool and casual way — and it’s a great way to entertain without having to pull out all the stops. Serve a large-format Cobb salad made with ALDI Never Any! Antibiotic-Free Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts for an easy-to-assemble main course, alongside make-your-own mimosas.
Just Grill It
Entertain guests in style with a good old-fashioned barbecue. Break out the gingham tablecloths and utensil caddies to set the scene, then grill up local produce and ALDI Never Any! Fresh Antibiotic-Free Seasoned Chicken Breasts, which come in Cilantro Lime, Southwest-Style and Sundried Tomato & Basil. Add a frozen cocktail to the mix and you’ll be prepared for a barbecue to remember: Blend cubes of frozen watermelon and rosé then top with watermelon charred on the grill for a sweet-and-smokey delight.
Block-Party Bonanza
You can do better than plain burgers and dogs at your neighborhood bash. Keep the event preservative-free and filled with flavor by firing up some ALDI Never Any! Chicken Sausages — available in Apple, Spinach Feta, Tomato Basil and Mild Italian flavors. Smother them in hot-off-the-grill fresh peppers and onions, and you’re set to greet the neighbors with bites to remember.

Poolside Cocktail Hour
For cool-as-a-cucumber snacks to enjoy alongside your favorite cocktail, lean into sandwiches with tons of delicious flavor (but not tons of preservatives, hormones and artificial ingredients). One superb option: club sandwiches made with thin-sliced ALDI Never Any! Antibiotic-Free Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts and Turkey Bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo. These casual classics are sure to make everyone extend their swim breaks and return for seconds and thirds.
A Day at the Beach
Pack your beach bag with plenty of towels, SPF and sunglasses — it’s the perfect day for a trip to the beach. But before heading out, pack up some delectable seashore-ready delights so the fun never has to stop. Wraps are our favorite, because they tend to be less porous than sliced bread and hold up well on the go. We like BLT wraps made with ALDI Never Any! Hickory Bacon, crispy lettuce, fresh sliced tomatoes and our favorite condiments. Taking 30 minutes to prep these on-the-go wraps beforehand means you can provide friends and family with a wholesome, delicious version of the snack-bar classic without a break in the action.
