Happy 4th of July! Thanks for joining me and Sarah for Meatless Monday today. Instead of a new recipe today, I am sharing a few of my favorite summer recipes. Perhaps you missed some the first time around!
4 Vegetarian Summer Favorites for the 4th of July
This Red, White & Blueberry Kale salad is perfect for the 4th of course and also great for all those summer BBQ’s. Pomegranate seeds pair so nicely with kale and the Parmesan cheese really tops it off.
I recently made this 7 layer Mediterranean salad and oh my goodness was it delicious. Plus it makes such a great presentation! It super easy to put together but looks like it took hours. The best kind of recipe for sure!
Summer “Squiche” This is one of my all time favorite recipes! I’ve made a traditional quiche a whole lot healthier by using spaghetti Squash for the crust. So delicious! I love to make it for dinner and then eat the leftovers for breakfast the next day. I promise you will love it too.
Grown Up Grilled Cheese and Polenta Fries
This sandwich is perfect anytime of the year. I added hummus, yes hummus to create a unique taste. Grown up grilled cheese has also become a crowd favorite at our house. Hope you give it a try!
These are 4 of my favorite summer vegetarian recipes hope they become some of yours. Hope you all have a safe and wonderful 4th of July.
What looks good to you?

I am loving that red white and blue salad combo!
I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday weekend!
