Picnics, parades, concerts, fireworks—what’s not to love about the 4th of July? With so much fun packed into a single day, Independence Day is definitely a highlight of summer. And without a doubt, the best thing about the fourth is festive gatherings with family and friends, which of course, inevitably means lots of delicious food.

Sargento® has a few choice recipes featuring 100 percent real, natural cheese that are sure to add some star-spangled pizzazz to your 4th of July gathering. While the sizzling brats and burgers lure us in, it’s the side dishes that add a variety of tastes and textures that keep people coming back for “just a little bit more.”
This year, take your salad game up a notch with the Best Ever Pasta Salad in a Jar. A colorful addition to your spread, these beauties, featuring three types of Sargento® cheese, are prepped in advance and guests shake ‘em up and enjoy them right out of the jar.
