Cheeseburgers are a staple for this holiday! Make sure to include a mini flag on top of the burgers to impress your guests even more.

11. Patriotic Charcuterie Board
A charcuterie board is the perfect dish to have out when your guests arrive. Get creative with this, but make sure you include lots of red and blue. Berries, watermelon, salami, peppers, and jams are the perfect addition. You could even cut your cheese with a star shaped food cutter.
12. Italian Pasta Salad
Pasta salad is a staple in our household especially in the summer months. Italian pasta salads are my personal favorite, but you could make any kind you like. Definitely include some tomatoes to add in some red!
13. Grilled Vegetables
If you are already grilling some protein, you may as well throw some vegetables on the grill as well. The char on the grill creates such a good flavor on your veggies. All of the vegetables above are my absolute favorites for the grill.

Pulled pork is a classic for a BBQ party! This recipe is the best because you don't need to do much. The pulled pork will cook in your instant pot, so there really isn't too much cooking involved.
