If you’re looking for ways to use up your garden bounty this 4th of July check out this round-up of garden fresh, 4th of July minded recipes.
Fresh 4th of July Veggies:
Fourth of July Roasted Tomato Salsa Recipe
Southwestern Style Potato Salad
Mushrooms, tofu, red onions, lemons (and more) grilled kabobs
Corn on the cob three ways – be brave and just click one – make whichever one you land on…
Juicy & Fruity:
Savory Apple Onion Tart – not too juicy, I know, but I defaulted the apples into the fruit category over the onions.
Spicy Fish Tacos with Pear Mango Salsa
Got fruit trees? Try Grilled Summer Fruit
4th of July Treats:
Ice pops are the best starting point for 4th of July garden treats. For one thing, they’re icy cold goodness during a hot day, and secondly, you can seriously use almost ANYTHING from the garden to make these. I’m talking carrots, herbs, tomatoes, berries, and so much more. You can even make plain old ice water pops with tiny edible flowers embedded for some beautiful and refreshingly easy pops. See 32 Unique Homemade Popsicle Recipes & Ideas to get started.
Red, white, and blue summer berry trifle
Ecstatic Organic Rose Vanilla Ice Cream
Little Extras:
Edible flowers galore – put them on cakes, in salads, and more!
