Food Friday - July 4th

Posted by leah on Jul 4, 2008

Since the 4th of July is a big BBQ holiday, I’m taking a break from my health food of the week to give you some healthy grilling ideas.

  • skinless chicken breast
  • veggie burgers, salmon burgers, or turkey burgers instead of beef
  • veggies like corn on the cob, bell peppers, onions, fancy mushrooms, and even tomatoes are good grilled

And some side dishes to serve with your BBQ:

  • fruit salad
  • sliced watermelon
  • whole-grain buns for burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches
  • tomato, onion, and lettuce for sandwiches/burgers
  • green salad with dressing made from balsamic vinegar, a bit of fruit juice, and olive oil
  • baked whole-grain chips with fresh salsa made from diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro - delicious!
