This menu has tons of flavor and offers something for everyone. I love these two main dish salads, and served with the tender muffins, they will satisfy the heartiest appetites. You can warm the muffins before serving if you'd like: just wrap them in foil and put them in a 350 degrees F oven for 7-9 minutes just before serving.
Have a great Fourth of July!
Make Ahead Fourth of July Menu
- Pesto Torte
This beautiful recipe is so good served with crackers and breadsticks. Yes, it's high in fat, but you should see the original recipe! I cut the fat content in half! And it's still delicious. - Cherry Chicken Salad
Sweet Bing cherries are at their peak right now. Making them into this delicious salad is the perfect way to use them. And the fresh pineapple and celery add more crunch and flavor. - Raspberry Mint Chicken Salad
This salad is one of my favorite recipes of all time. The mint in the dressing might sound a bit strange, but believe me, it adds a freshness to this salad that elevates it into gourmet territory. - Cheesy Herbed Muffins
Tender little muffins are always a hit served with cold main dish salads. I like this recipe because the muffins are savory, not sweet. - My Mom's Potato Salad
It wouldn't be the 4th of July without my mom's potato salad! - Peanut Parfait Dessert
This frozen dessert is fun to make and so good. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is always a good idea, but never more so than in this recipe.
