Plant-based picnic side dishes 🇺🇸

My favorite vegan side dishes for your 4th of July cookout

Sure, most 4th of July picnics and cookouts center around meat, but a plant-based outdoor party revolves around one thing: AMAZING side dishes.

In preparation for your 4th of July parties this week in the US, I’ve gathered up a list of my favorite plant-based side dishes that even the meat eaters will love.

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

Cookouts, a significant part of American culture, originated from indigenous barbacoa practices brought to the U.S. by Spanish explorers in the 1500s. They evolved into a patriotic tradition by the 19th century, especially linked to Memorial Day and July 4th celebrations and were popularized through various social, political, and wartime influences.
