Your 4th of July Menu

on the menu (vol. 10)

How did I miss the memo on how easy of a meal hot dogs are?! The other night, I threw six on a grill pan, sliced a sourdough loaf, and set out sugar snap peas. In less than 10 minutes, I had dinner for three kids ready! Is this our go-to kid meal of summer?

If you’re grilling hot dogs or burgers this week, this menu is filled with recipes to pair with them, including great salads for a crowd and filling grains. And if you aren’t grilling, you can enjoy these meals any day or time of year.

I recommend making a big batch of Green Goddess to serve as a grazing board and returning to my tie-dye ice cream for a festive summer dessert! My go-to burger recipe is always a crowd pleaser, too.

Here’s what’s on the menu for your July 4th BBQ:

• Broccoli Burgers with Green Goddess

• Golden Girl Salad with Marinated Ribs

• Farro Salad with Grilled Salmon
