Memorial Day calls for grill-ready dishes, great company, good weather — and a trip to Trader Joe’s. TJ’s has all the essentials for a delicious holiday celebration, from burgers and sides to salads and snacks that won’t break your budget.
Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, picnicking in the park, or enjoying a cozy meal at home, here are some tasty items to buy at Trader Joe’s before the long weekend.
Beef Patties
- Price: $9.99
Nothing says Memorial Day like juicy burgers sizzling on the grill. Trader Joe’s Angus Chuck, Brisket & Sirloin Beef Patties offer a flavorful blend of whole-muscle cuts, from juicy brisket to richly marbled picanha, that hold up beautifully to high-heat cooking.
Each 1/3-pound burger patty is thick enough to stay tender and moist over high flames. These 75% lean/25% fat patties cook up juicy and satisfying. Serve with a brioche bun for a satisfying Memorial Day cookout.
Beef Hot Dogs
- Price: $5.99
Hot dogs are notorious for containing fillers and artificial preservatives such as nitrites and nitrates — but not Trader Joe’s Organic Uncured Grass Fed Beef Hot Dogs.
These dogs are packed with authentic ingredients such as USDA-certified organic beef from grass fed cows, sea salt, garlic, paprika and red pepper flakes. Total goodness that cooks up fast.
Brioche Buns
- Price: $3.49-$3.99
Whatever you’re grilling, the bun often makes the difference in taste. Trader Joe’s Brioche Buns and Trader Joe’s Brioche Hot Dog Buns are made by TJ’s bakers with butter and eggs, giving them a fluffy, rich and slightly sweet texture that cradles whatever’s inside with buttery goodness.
They pair perfectly with ground beef, sausage, grilled chicken, pulled pork, lobster patties and more for a variety of satisfying meals.
Salmon Fillets
- Price: $10.99 per pound
A perfect choice for seafood lovers, Trader Joe’s BBQ Cut Fresh Atlantic Salmon Fillets come thick-cut with the skin-on, which makes them suitable for grilling, roasting, baking or poaching.Â
They’re raised without antibiotics in pristine salmon farms on the northern coast of Norway. These fillets have a rich, tender taste that’s full of flavor. Season the salmon with olive oil or butter and add salt and pepper.
Fiesta Salad With Shrimp
- Price: $6.99
This ready-to-eat salad blends the taste of Mexican cuisine with mouth-watering shrimp. Trader Joe’s Fiesta Salad with Shrimp features crisp romaine, seasoned black beans, sweet roasted corn and crunchy tortilla strips layered with zesty pico de gallo, a hearty portion of cooked shrimp and a rich poblano dressing finished with a fresh wedge of lime.
It’s easy to top off with shredded cheese, avocado slices and your favorite hot sauce or salsa.
