On Labor Day, the cook deserves a break from their labors as much as anyone else. So this menu is designed around simple, quick-cooking dishes, most of them cooked outside on the grill, so you can mingle and relax. It starts with a lusciousGreek yogurt and grilled onion dipthat’s a massive upgrade from the old dried-onion-sour-cream affair. Pair it with quality store-bought potato chips for a crowd-pleasing appetizer. For the main course,chicken breasts are brined in buttermilkwhich keeps them super-tender when grilled quickly. They’re paired with the simplest of sides:tomato saladandgrilled corn. And for dessert, keep that grill on because we are grill-toasting slices of pound cakewith sweet, juicy sliced peaches.
