Are you as pumped to celebrate the 4th of July like we are? This is actually one of our favorite holidays, mainly for all the delicious food and snackages! So, we put together a list of 5 of our grilling favorites to help you get ready for the holiday weekend! Here is our July 4th Grilling Recipe Roundup!
1. Grilled Mortadella Skewers with Burrata & Italian Herb Sauce
These viral grilled mortadella skewers are viral for a good reason! Grilling mortadella does something special to the flavor of this delicious Italian cold cut. Paired with an herby sauce and fresh burrata and you have yourself a crowd pleasing appetizer for your next cookout.
2. Italian Herb Grilled Chicken Thighs with Lemon Vinaigrette
Chicken thighs pack a lot more flavor than breasts and when grilled, you get an easy and satisfying chicken dinner. What makes this recipe so fantastic is the warm lemon vinaigrette drizzled on top. Easy, delicious, and exactly what your 4th of July needs.
3. Juicy Lucy Cowgirl Cheeseburger
Burgers and hotdogs are always winners on the 4th of July, and if you really want to make America's Birthday epic, you must stuff your burger patty with all the cheese! This burger is the love child of the Minnesota Juicy Lucy and our Texas-style burger patty made with a combo of ground beef and breakfast sausage, chopped onions and bell peppers, and of course some heat with serrano chile peppers.
4. Grilled Marinated Tri Tip Steak - Ultimate Marinade Recipe
The marinade here is the true hero of the dish. It is so good, we use it on a variety of cuts, but it is always our go-to for try tip. Your guests will be begging you for the recipe.
5. Spicy Grilled Watermelon Salad
Is it even the 4th of July if there isn't a big ol' bowl of watermelon?? Watermelon and July 4th just seem to work... probably because it's always hot and watermelons are in season. Either way, watermelon is a necessity at our house! You could just cut up a watermelon if you want to be boring, OR you could be the life of the party and grill the watermelon to make this delicious salad! Your choice!
6. Chili Cheese Burgers
And, another burger! But we all need options in our lives! This 100% beef burger patty is seasoned with chili powder and mixed with roasted poblano and jalapeño peppers along with small cubes of cheddar cheese for a super juicy and cheesy bite every time!
7. Grilled Swordfish with Summer Gremolata
Looking for something a bit lighter? This grilled swordfish recipe is perfect. The summer gremolata brightens everything up and complements this meaty fish perfectly.
Don't forget the sides!
