Dress up Store-Bought Sides for Your Cookout

If you’re hosting a #Memorial Day #cookout but don’t have a lot of time, Today suggests following chef J.J. Johnson’s last-minute, labor-saving hacks to make people think you spent hours in the kitchen. You can “dress up” store-bought potato salad with your own own hard-boiled eggs, sweet relish and salt and pepper, or doctor ready-made macaroni salad with Old Bay seasoning. Add unexpected fun to burgers by supplying a crunchy topping such as chips, and make “batched” drinks. And for dessert, get a store-bought pound cake and add your own whipped cream and berries. Put on a festive playlist and get the party started! #MemorialDayHacks
