12 red, white and blue recipes to celebrate the Fourth of July

We love the Fourth of July culinary classics: dressed-up hot dogs, big burgers, creamy potato salad and ice-cold beer. But we also love a good theme, and the holiday presents an easy one in the form of a red, white and blue color scheme.

We have plenty of red, white and blue sweet treats you can serve at your celebration, but if you’re looking for on-theme appetizers, sides, mains and more, we also have you covered. Below are just a handful of recipes to match the Independence Day color palette. If you want to find even more festive summer recipes, search our archive of more than 10,000 tested and trusted recipes.
