Summer is almost here, and I can’t tell you how excited I am! One of our favorite things to do as a family is to have friends and family over for a good cookout and enjoy the family swimming pool while listening to our favorite music.
If you want to have the perfect summer grilling party, here’s what we do to make it fun and memorable!
How To Have The Perfect Summer Grilling Party
Break out the Music
Do you ever hear a song on the radio that brings back a special memory, makes you feel happy, calm, or gets you pumped up? When we have a summer grilling party, we want it to be something memorable for everyone. The kids don’t always like some of our country songs, but then again we don’t always like their hip hop. Either way, music brings out the best in all of us. In fact, music is actually beneficial to our overall well-being.
Plan Some Games
Games are always a party must! What is a party without some 3-legged races, corn hole, or ring toss. We love games. But we try to stick to games that people can wander over to whenever they want rather than trying to get the whole group involved. Although, relay races with a twist are always a fun way to get everyone involved.
Go All Out on the Food
If you want to have the perfect summer grilling party, there are a few food essentials you just have to have. We like to provide lots of options because you never know what someone will want. But, our essentials include: steak, hotdogs, sausage links, hamburgers, pasta salad, watermelon, corn on the cob and my famous homemade pineapple salsa! (I’m sharing my recipe at the ends of this post).
Planning a summer grilling party? We’re turning up summer with summer grilling party food and party supplies at Walmart!
Hover over the image below to start shopping for your summer grilling setup!
My kids love hotdogs and sausage links every time we have a cookout so I make sure we buy the Ball Park® Hot Dogs and the Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage Links. I like that Ball Park® Hot Dogs are made of 100% beef and contain no by-products, fillers or artificial colors or flavors. The Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage Links are made with 100% premium pork and/or premium beef as well. I’m picky with what I feed my family and we’ve always loved these brands of hotdogs and sausage links.
They’re perfect with grilled Ball Park® Hot Dog Buns and then topped with my pineapple salsa!
Save Time and Money at Walmart
Now throwing a perfect summer cookout party doesn’t have to cost you a lot of time and money. I find everything I need for our party right at Walmart! From food to party supplies and games, I get them all right at my Walmart store.
I love the Walmart store closest to our house because even though it’s huge, I know where to find all the stuff I need and they’re always at reasonable prices!
To save time serving food and cleaning up after the party, I use disposable utensils and plates like Chinet® Classic White™ dinner plates. They’re premium disposable plates that are strong to serve the heaviest meals in style! So, if you want to save some time and money, I would suggest writing up your list and heading over to Walmart to make your perfect summer cookout party happen.

that is a very interesting thing to put pineapple salsa on. i would grill up some pork chops and put the pineapple salsa on top
don’t grill but do all most all my shopping at walmart the salsa sound different may have to try it.
I summer bbq and nothing taste better than grilled foods. Wow! I just found out that grilled pineapple is awesome!!
I summer bbq and nothing taste better than grilled foods. Wow! I just found out that grilled pineapple is awesome!
The food looks absolutely delicious!
The pineapple salsa looks delicious. I’ve had it on grilled salmon and on grilled chicken breasts. Both ways tasted really good.
So appetising….can’t wait to get it.
This looks so good. I can’t wait to try it.. So awesome..
I had some kind of salmon dinner in a restaurant not too long ago that came with a pineapple salsa on top of it. It was really delicious. I have been meaning to find a recipe for it, to add to some salmon here at home. I’m pinning this recipe!!! Can’t wait to try it out soon. Thanks! 🙂
This recipe looks absolutely delicious! I love summer grilling because there are so many options that just don’t taste the same when they are made indoors. I find that Walmart always has what I need for this.
My kids have just recently discovered that they like the taste of pineapple and also, a few months ago, salsa. This would be a perfect mix to present at the next family BBQ to get the kids interested. Much appreciated. hope to try soon!
This looks really good I would love to give it a try.. I love summer grilling I usually buy most of my food at Walmart love the brats on the grill.
I love how something with just a limited amount of ingredients can end up being a nice, delicious thing to serve guests. I love mango in my salsa, will need to try pineapples one of these days.
This pineapple salsa looks and sounds yummy thanks for sharing the recipe I cant wait to get the stuff to make it.
I love shopping for summer grilling essentials at Walmart because I can get everything in one trip!
When summer hits I love to grill outside to help keep the house cool and have fantastic foods on the bbq. I do grilled pineapple slices to put on burgers for added fresh summer flavors.
Walmart is the best place to grab all the cookout essentials. That is definitely a recipe I will have to bring to my next cookout. Great ideas. Thank you.
Sounds good. I love pineapple. I’ll have to try this recipe out.
I love this twist on a traditional grilling recipe. The pineapple salsa looks delicious!
Family gatherings r surely best parts of summers! Love all these amazing ideas and especially the pineapple salsa topping!
Great tips and ideas. I love the Summer and all the chances to have a good BBQ / grilling party.
I love Walmart for all my needs year round, but summertime is my favorite. Your salsa looks amazing and fresh. We cook out at least once a week with friends and family. I think this will be my next take-along recipe.
Thanks for this awesome and healthy recipe. I am anxious to use it this Summer for sure.
Great looking recipe I look forward to using this Summer.
I’m a huge pineapple fan but have never had it in salsa before so this will be fab to try. I got overly excited yesterday when I found out they are doing dole whip at the zoo about half an hour away from me so I don’t have to wait until my next trip to Hawaii or Disney for my fix!
Sounds delicious ! Imma try this recipe
Oh wow that pineapple salsa looks fantastic. Would love to try that out next summer. We’re heading into winter in South Africa. I’m into my soups and stews this time of year.
The salsa looks amazing, except I don’t like pineapples so I’d probably substitute something else.
This looks SO good!! I need to make it! We love grilling in the summer. We do it at least 3 times as week. New York strips, potatoes, and Brussel sprouts on the grill is my favorite.
We always buy our food and drinks for parties from WalMart. I just stocked up yesterday but it looks like I need to go back and buy the ingredients for that pineapple salsa! Can’t wait to try it!
This recipe sounds delicious and perfect for a summer cookout! I especially love the variety of ingredients.
The pineapple salsa sounds and looks delicious, I think it would be wonderful on grilled fish.
These are all such great ideas! So many that I haven’t even thought about. I always love incorporating games and music. Food is always a yes, no matter the occasion! Totally pinning the pineapple salsa! Looks and sounds so refreshing!
We love cooking with pineapple and this recipe looks so good will have to try making it to go with our bbq food.We use our grill 2 to 3 times a week we love cooking everything on it. I also pick so much of it up at Walmart we love shopping there too.
I love summer grilling! Looking forward to sharing these tips and recipes with the family.
I made this last night and it was so good. We love pineapple anything.
I also shop at Walmart for all summer essentials and just about everything!
Hi, I’d rate it a 5, but I can’t do the “grillin’ party part-NO GRILL”! It looks great, “gone-a-wishin”, (AGAIN!!). Take care, “God Bless”, sincerely Randy.
Usually with summer grilling, I put together different vegetables,fruits and fish and shrimp that I would like to grill. I create a shish kebab style with the use of foil packs, as well.
The pineapple Salsa sounds so delicious and summery
I always look forward to food on the grill in the Summer! We don’t BBQ very often, since our BBQ is very old and unreliable…someday we’ll get a new one 🙂 I really enjoyed reading about your perfect Summer grilling tips, and can’t wait to try that Pineapple Salsa! It sounds so fresh & delicious…thanks for sharing!
This pineapple salsa sounds amazing! I’m pinning it to try soon! I think it would be great with grilled chicken.
Having a summer garden party with close family and friends is always a massive hit for us. We all chip in and everyone brings food and their own drinks and we provide the soft drinks. One of our group is a DJ so he always does the music and we invite the neighbours so we can party until the early hours without offening anyone!
I love to incorporate any fruit into meat cooking. Especially pineapplie- it makes it extra flavorful and delicious
Sweet and savoury is my favourite combination so I’m loving that fresh pineapple salsa! I think I’ll try it with grilled chicken.
One of my favorite summer hobbies is swimming. And what goes better with swimming than grilling? Of course we go shopping to get new suits and new shoes and clothes at walmart!
An interesting combination. I’ll try them.
All this food is making me hungry, especially the hotdogs. I would love to try Pineapple Salsa
Pineapple Salsa sounds delicious xx
Living in a flat, I don’t really get to do bbq’s and to be honest, I wouldn’t even know where to start! But you have given me a few tips for in case I ever get to do a bbq x
I often make a mango pineapple salsa when we make a giant batch of fresh corn tamales. Will have to try it with hot dogs next!
I absolutely love grilling in the summer, especially when camping. That pineapple salsa recipe sounds really good.
This recipe looks really yummy! I bet this would be great on grilled chicken or pork steak.
Thanks for the pineapple salsa recipe! I put the ingredients on my weekend shopping list. I’ll be making it for our family Father’s Day get together.
We love having cookouts and Walmart is definitely a money saver when it comes to buying our food and snacks. We have a pool so a lot of our outdoor activities are centered around that. I can’t wait to try your salsa recipe. Sounds and looks amazing!
I love this idea of using pineapple for a salsa. I’ve never tried it.
Those hotdogs look so yummy and I’ve never thought about matching them with pineapple, that’s very original! Summer late afternoon/night parties are the best way to end a weekend or to start one, I’m so looking foward to host a few of them. Definitely with this recipe!
I love walmart. It has everything you need for summer & every season of the year.
My family always grill in the summer. The pineapple salsa looks so good. I need to try it.
That salsa looks so delicious, we go all out grocery shopping at Walmart, amazing prices and selection for our summer grilling needs
I love shopping at Walmart especially in the summer. They have fantastic prices and such great products you can’t find anywhere else!
The salsa recipe looked pretty easy, except for seeding the peppers. I’m not a big fan of anything too spicy. The mason jars with iced tea looked cute, and should be easy to personalize to avoid mix-ups.
The Salsa looks so summery, colourful and delicious, I would love to try it. It looks easy to make.
I tend to avoid processed meats, but that salsa sounds good. I think I’ll make that for my next outdoor salad. Thank you!
I like that salsa. I just don’t want it on my hot dog. (just mustard, please)
I love pineapple!! I’m definitely trying this recipe!!
awwww… ??? pineapple salsa sound yumyum… cant wait for some friend to sleep over..we will surely do some grillin’
I love grilling food in the summertime. Definitely a favorite time with our family. Lots of good food and conversation. Never had or heard of Pineapple salsa… looks interesting to try! 😉
The pineapple salsa looks incredible! I can’t wait to make it. We love grilling in the summer.
I really need to make this pineapple salsa for my cookout on monday. Looks delicious
We haven’t grilled out in a long time, since I’m a crock pot cook most of the time. haha! I need to though…. love fresh veggies grilled! This salsa looks great! I’ve never tried to make a pineapple salsa before….. my hubby loves pineapple, so I think it would be a win at my house!
Delicious, simple, tangy pineapple salsa recipe! Great for outdoor get-togethers keeping your wallet in mind, SOO GOOOD! No one will know you just made it 😀
We used to do a lot of grilling years when we lived close to the river. We usually grill now when we camp for a weekend. I love finding new recipes too, this salsa one is perfect for me to make this summer, so bright and beautiful too!
Grilling during the summer is something which has brought my family together on several occasions. From weddings to birthday parties. Even some funerals have seen us having a BBQ. There is something about the vibe and atmosphere. People are more open and comfortable.
We live in an apartment and have a patio that we have always enjoyed grilling on. About 2 years ago the management decided that grilling on the patios isn’t allowed anymore, geez! Honestly, we still sneak it in every now and then!
The Pineapple Salsa sounds really good. The only problem with it is I really hate the taste of cilantro. I wonder how this would taste with out the cilantro. We shop at Walmart for all our picnic needs. My grand kids love grilled hot dogs and hamburgers.
I’ve never heard of pineapple salsa but this recipe sounds yummy. My family loves pineapple so this give me lots of ideas. I may leave off the red pepper and spicy ingredients though. I’m really not of fan of hot spicy. Love the site. I’m glad I discovered your blog.
I haven’t tried making salsa before, but this pineapple looks so good. I will nshare this with my friends.
We don’t do as much summer grilling as I would like. I absolutely love the taste of grilled food even tho we use gas instead of charcoal. That salsa sounds great.
Now that is a refreshing recipe. I always go to Walmart for all of my grilling foods
The salsa recipe looks delish! I’m hosting a BBQ this weekend. The salsa may just end up on the menu.
I love pineapple, so this recipe sounds tasty. Since I live in a warm climate, grilling out is something we do several times a week. Then we go swimming in the pool. 🙂
I enjoy eating grilled foods but because we live in a country that’s incredibly hot and humid in the summer, we don’t grill often in the summer because the heat can get a bit much.
I would of never thought to put this salsa on a hot dog. It looks really appetizing and I wouldn’t mind trying it out. I really love salsa during the summer time and with growing our own garden during the summer time my mom makes the best salsa ever. Home made salsa is really good and I recommend anyone that shops to create there own salsa dips. It’s the best.
Salsa looks awesome
Wow, this recipe looks like summer in a bowl! I love pineapple. This seems like such a refreshing topping for grilled food. Thanks for sharing!
I am not a fan of fruit salsas, sorry. I just like whatever fruit it is, by itself, and then only some fruits. I can’t have anything acidic. Ok I’m boriing, haha Cookouts to me, mean hamburgers and/or hot dogs with chips or potato salad, sometimes cole slaw. I’m pretty boring but it’s because I have a lot of food issues and have to have many plain foods due to medical issues.
We grill a lot during the summer months. I don’t like to make my air conditioner work any harder than it has to so I cook everything I can on the grill. I have never made pineapple salsa before, I do love it though/ Thank you for the recipe.
I love summer griling! Always up for grilling fruits and veggies (grilled avocado is amazing). Walmart is our go to grilling headquarters! Always great produce and even better prices!
pimeapple is my favorite and im going to give this a try!
We do lots of grilling and cookout with fun and games too. I cant wait to make the pineapple salsa. Will go great with burger , or steak or BBQ .
We do grilling and fun and games too. I cant wait to make this pineapple salsa. I really love fresh pineapple.
This recipe looks awesome and not a lot of work. I only have 2 pairs of shorts I have to go clothes shopping really soon. I can’t wait to see this years styles
The pineapple salsa looks good — I’ve never had it before. Love to grill, keeps my kitchen clean and hubby does the cooking when we grill.
I bet that serrano totally makes it! Yum!
Yummy! Thank you for sharing the tips and this refreshing Pineapple salsa recipe! Can’t wait to start grilling!
You really do need to go all out on the food if you are going to make the party worth it. The food is really my favorite part and it opens up tongues and makes people talk more. So fun.
I enjoy summer grilling.
It takes the heat out of the kitchen.
And I like shopping at Walmart for the grill outs.
You get the best prices.
My daughter lives on the river so our get togethers usually involve canoe/kayaking & since my son in law is Cajun we usually have boiled crawfish or shrimp.
Sounds delicious, I can’t wait to try this recipe!
This sounds yummy! We do hot dogs, hamburgers and grilled chicken. I would love to use this salsa with everything.
I love bbq’s in the summer but unfortunately, I don’t know how to work a bbq! I gotta learn that one day! Lol Thanks for the great recipe and tips!
Every summer season I try to incorporate something new/different to my menus … especially when it comes to barbecuing outdoors. I’ve also adjusted my diet so I don’t indulge as much in the grilled goodies like hot dogs/sausages/red hots. However, after seeing your recipe for pineapple salsa I must admit I am going to try it on a ‘cheat’ day with a turkey dog.
i’ve never had pineapple salsa before. i’d like to try it. i love mango salsas.
My husband is the griller is this family. I suppose I could do it but man, he loves being behind the grill. lol I will definitely be trying out that salsa. I tried a pineapple grilled ham and cheese once. Wasn’t sure if I would like it but WOW – super amazing. The Cook use 3 types of cheese, ham (straight from the baked ham shank , pineapples and rustic bread. So, I am thinking your pineapple salsa will be delicious also.
Pineapple salsa? Sounds good! I love tumbleweed’s apricot salsa.
I’d love to try this recipe. We love to grill squid with pineapple. Just skewer squid and pineapple onto skewers (alternating pieces). No seasonings required. The pineapple imparts a lovely flavour to the squid. Works with shrimps too.
I have never tried a salsa with pineapples. But, this recipe sounds interesting for sure.
Good suggestions for a summer party. I love the pineapple salsa recipe.
Everything looks good the salsa looks tasty
we BBQ sometimes only on holidays love my ribs and
hot links
This is a must do this summer. I have saved it in my favourite pins for later
The pineapple salsa looks delicious. I would never have thought to use it in that way. Thanks for the recipe I willuse it at our next barby.
We love grilled food , chicken, corn on the cob, ect… We seem to live at Walmart, always there.
OMG! Thanks for this fresh recipe!
I love grilling but I often eat the grilled meat without sauces, now I need to try this pineapple salsa 🙂
Grilling is not for me because I mainly hibernate indoors here during the summer. I had some mango salsa from qdoba on Mother’s Day that I really liked.
I have seen this salsa as a variant of pico de Gallo, but I have never being so barbe to make it. Also seen it with mango instead of pineapple
At first when I heard “pineapple salsa”, it did not sound appealing. When I looked at the recipe and saw how good it looked, I think I’ll have to try to make this at our next cookout!
One of my favourite recipes from now on! So easy and quick! I’m not a cooking enthusiast so anything easy quick and tasty is my moto hehe
I have never had pineapple salsa before but this recipe sounds amazing and I can’t wait to try it. This summer we are planning on taking the kids camping at least once and and going just the two of us at least once as well. And I have tickets for three rock/heavy metal concerts for this summer!
This recipe looks delicious, I need to make it for our next cookout! We love grilling steaks, chicken, and corn on the cob and Walmart has everything we need and great prices. I love when they come out with summer items, the designs are always cute
Still awaiting the warmer weather up here in northern Canada. But with my wife being a Walmart manager, I shouldn’t have any problems obtaining the listed products.
That pineapple salsa looks delicious!! I love grilling veggies and meats on the grill. We did shishkabobs last year with lots of pineapple. I also made the mistake of eating a LOT of raw pineapple and it totally ate away at my gums. I was miserable for days while it healed.
I love salsa! I have never tried pineapple salsa though. This sounds delicious. It would be fun to make for one of our get togethers with our family.
Your pineapple salsa looks really good. I like that you are using sweet onion and lime in it. I love pineapples, but have never tried them with hot dogs. Sounds like it’s be good though.
I always make my husband man the grill because it always seems that no matter what I do I burn myself. We enjoy eating our lovely meal around the campfire with the kids and grand kids.
Pineapple really is under-rated when it comes to cooking. That salsa looks amazing! Something about the sweet, tart and salty mix that makes my mouth water!
I am a huge fan of fresh salsa with fruit and other fresh produce! This would also go well over grilled fish! I love to grill fish and veggies in the summer!
Looks tasty, but I don’t currently have a grill.
this is a perfect recipe during picnics. i would love to have this prepared osns our next summer outing. very practicaal recipe.

Our summers are all about family. We meet up with cousins, aunts, uncles and the whole clan (if possible). A vacation somewhere is always in the yearly plan too. Spending time with family, whether at home or someplace else is the best time always.

We love to grill. I love Maui steaks with potato salad and grilled corn on the cob.
I love using Walmart for buying grilling products (and groceries)! My favorite grilling in the summer is steak and corn on the cob. I live in Omaha, Nebraska…so it kind of makes sense that I would love corn. (haha). I feel like when I shop at Walmart I can get more for my money and who doesn’t love that?
This look so delicious!
That salsa looks AMAZING! We are horrible at keeping our grill clean, so we do not grill out. But won’t stop me from trying this!

That pineapple salsa looks delicious! It’s so easy to make too! I love grilling in the summer. My family likes to relax on the back porch, eating and enjoying our time together. We have so much fun!
Grilling in the summertime is great! Of course, it’s my husband who is in charge of the grill. I’m looking forward to having him grill soon.
I love going to grilling parties. The desserts are always my favorite.
