A Fourth of July Picnic

The 4th of July is a special time of the year when friends and family gather for hamburgers, hotdogs, popsicles, apple pie, and to celebrate everything American, red, white, and blue. While these famous classics are hard to beat for a Fourth of July picnic, trying something new and breaking away from the norm is what Independence Day is all about!

Switch up the traditional hamburger on the grill for this delicious recipe featuring grilled pork chops and beef tenderloin filet with a cilantro pesto. A far cry from traditional, this recipe is sure to make its way into your guests’ hearts and bellies.
