How to Have a Healthy 4th of July
June 29, 2018
Grill-marked hot dogs, hamburger patties, and popsicle-red lips…ah, the signs of summer—and a stomachache. This 4th of July, we’re resisting tradition and serving up fare that’s fresh, healthy and fuss-free. Forgo the kitschy décor or preservative-laden food and instead make it a day to celebrate summer’s seasonal produce. Jenni suggests setting the table with subtle hints of red, white, and blue (think: washed blue table runners and juicy red stone fruits) and chef Pamela Salzman shares summer-friendly recipes that are easy and guaranteed to please (and make enough to feed all of your guests) for the best fourth ever.

Jenni's 4th of July Tips:
Always go family style or buffet, opt for dishes that can be served at room temperature so you don’t have to worry about corralling your guests all at once (i.e. burrata crostini, pesto green beans, and a fresh salad), and go simple on decor: direct the funds you’d spend on bags full of plastic red, white, and blue decorations towards juicy stone fruits that can transition from the centerpiece to an easy dessert with a scoop of ice cream once the meal is over.
