5 Fourth of July Party Food Ideas

We’ve selected five yummy food ideas that are perfect for the occasion – whether to serve as a host, or to bring as a guest at someone else’s party.

Patriotic Smoothies (or Popsicles)

Layered red, white, and blue smoothies and popsicles are healthy, refreshing treats that have “patriotic celebration” written all over them. Both are fresh tasting and delicious, and are sure to be enjoyed by everyone. Make the smoothies, or popsicles, or go crazy and make both!

Star Chips and Fruit Salsa

Make homemade cinnamon sugar star chips from tortillas with a star-shaped cookie cutter. Serve with a festive fruit salad made with strawberries,
blueberries, and apples to dip the chips into. Simple, light, and flavorful!

Red, White, and Blue Sangria

Sangria is a drink that’s enjoyed all summer long. For Fourth of July, whip up a batch of Red, White, and Blue Sangria, made with strawberries, blueberries, and pineapples. To make this sangria even more festive, use a star-shaped cookie cutter to make pineapple stars.

Patriotic Salad

Creating a Red, White, and Blue Salad goes well with any meats, making it a perfect dish for a Fourth of July BBQ. In this salad, strawberries, blueberries, cucumbers, and fresh mozzarella pearls combine beautifully with red apple balsamic vinegar. You can also add mint or basil for even lovelier
flavor.

Flag Fruit Pizza

For a dessert that will wow your guests (or the guests at the party you’ll be attending), make this scrumptious Flag Fruit Pizza. With a sugar cookie dough crust (a ready-made pie crust can also be used), a “sauce” made from a mix of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and frozen whipped topping, and patriotic colored fruits to top it off, we’re certain there won’t be any leftovers of this pizza!
