Welcome to Part 2 of our super fabulous 4th of July party food series! Last week, I shared a freakin’ amazing almond streusel-topped blueberry galette that is seriously one of my favorite summer desserts of all time. Today, we’re going savory with this super loaded bacon-y broccoli salad. Because it’s not a national holiday if there’s no bacon involved! At least that’s the rule in our house.
Guys, in a little less than 2 weeks, the best food holiday of the year is upon us: The 4th of July!!
Well, maybe not the BEST. Thanksgiving and Christmas and the Super Bowl are pretty great, too. But it’s definitely the best of the summer food holidays, and we need to make sure we’re prepared.
Guys, today we need to talk about something really important.
Something called…mango bacon guacamole.
Last week, we talked about how important great snacks are to summer fun (um, absolutely critical, obviously). I think the ultimate summer snack has to be chips and guac. Maybe it’s the California girl in me, but I seriously need to be restrained around any form of guacamole. I will eat the whole bowl and go looking for more. I wish I was exaggerating, but I’m totally not. I know my fellow guacamole devotees understand.
Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone!
What are you doing to celebrate? Our apartment’s grill area is still being renovated (major fail) so we’re cooking up some burgers and drinking beers inside with the windows open. At least there’s no UV rays?
