Favorite July 4th Recipes

It’s hard to believe that the fourth of July is this weekend! I’m not sure how much outdoors we will do with the extreme heat now and forecast, but I’ll be prepared with our favorite July 4th recipes. For sure!

July 4th Favorite Recipes

First, salads.

Potato Salad

I don’t know about you, but potato salad has to be on the table for the July 4th gatherings. With the heat, I’ll be sure to add the bowl to a container over ice just to keep it cold since it is a mayonnaise based recipe. Mayo doesn’t like heat so be careful with any of your recipes with that ingredient and make sure they stay cold.

Marinated Salad

Aunt Helen’s marinated salad is a GREAT recipe for celebrating the 4th because of it’s vinegar base that handles heat beautifully. It made it’s appearance at our family reunion last weekend and was loved by all.

Corn Salad

Oh, my goodness! This is a favorite. You can always have corn on the cob…but this takes fresh veggies over the top with this July 4th favorite recipe!

Caprese Salad

Sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella slices, basil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar…so quick and easy…and delicious!

Burgers

Burgers off the grill shouldn’t disappoint. Save by using ground turkey instead of beef. Here’s our favorite recipe, page 20 in the Vue magazine.

Grilled Ahi Tuna Steak Sandwiches

Simply the BEST. Here’s the recipe.

Fourth of July Watermelon

So easy and festive! Just cut the watermelon with star cookie cutters!

Red, White and Blueberry Pie

If you follow me on the Vue magazine, this is pie is a favorite Pampered Chef recipe, page 61 of this issue.

Campfire S’mores Pizza

The s’more flavor with a twist! Click here for the recipe.

ICE CREAM!

And last, but not least! Ice Cream! page 32 in that Vue issue… Make it any flavor that you want! You can pull out the old hand cranked or electric freezer…but, this is SOOOO much easier.
