The 4th of July marks the birth of American independence — people celebrate with fireworks, parades, concerts and our favorite — family barbecues. While this year, we may not be able to attend big events, we can still make it special.  And we’ve got your Independence Day menu covered! Each of these star-spangled 4th of July recipes have a healthy twist so you can enjoy every bite — and feel good doing it. 

From delicious mains to sweet and savory sides, there’s a little something for everyone. Mix up your classic burgers with black bean quinoa burgers or grilled fish tacos. Grill up some garlic corn on the cob and carrots for a unique spin on traditional veggies. Switch up that heavy potato salad with an herby alternative or try a delicious mayo-free coleslaw. And don’t forget dessert — we have red, white and blue sweets that will dazzle your guests. Turn your backyard barbecue into a healthy 4th of July festive feast — and make some new memories this holiday.
