this weekend, like most folks, we celebrated the 4th with with a backyard cookout!
since arriving home from our trip throughout europe, i’ve opted for fresh foods & salads over heavily prepared meals. i am craving caprese salads, bruschetta & pesto with cucumbers. blame it on italy, y’all.
for our friends’ backyard party, i gathered an array of fresh ingredients in pretty little bowls. i brought along a small bowl of soft cheese from the farmers’ market, homemade pesto, home-pickled sugar snap peas, spicy pickles & chopped cucumbers for dipping.
i was craving popcorn so we brought along a big bowl of sea salt caramel popcorn. this is my go-to recipe, friends. we’ll be making it many more times this summer, that is for certain!
i also brought along a pretty bouquet of flowers from our farm complete with a happy flag for the special occasion.
what are your go-to fresh party foods? please share!
love,
natalie
