At Foodie Tasting Room, we believe great food is the spark that brings people together—and there’s no better time to gather around the grill than the Fourth of July. Whether you're hosting a backyard cookout, heading to the lake, or bringing a dish to share at the fireworks show, we’ve got bold flavors and fresh ideas to make your table pop with red, white... and balsamic!
Red: Sweet, Spicy, and Bold
Celebrate the red with a splash of vibrant summer flavor:
-
Cherry Balsamic Glazed Ribs – Brush tender baby back ribs with our Cherry Jam and Bourbon Dark Balsamic for a sticky-sweet glaze that sizzles.
-
Spicy Red Pepper Jam Meatballs – Toss your favorite meatballs in our house-made jam for a bite-size crowd-pleaser.
-
Watermelon Salad with Strawberry Peach White Balsamic – Juicy watermelon, feta, mint, and a drizzle of Strawberry Peach White Balsamic Vinegar—simple, beautiful, and refreshing.
White: Cool, Creamy, and Classic
Let’s balance the bold with some creamy comforts:
-
Creamy Coleslaw with Balsamic Twist – Add a splash of Jalapeno Lime White Balsamic to your slaw dressing for unexpected depth.
-
Potato Salad with Bacon EVOO – Ditch the mayo-heavy versions and toss with Bacon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, stone-ground mustard, and herbs from your garden.
-
Grilled Corn with Garlic & Parmesan Aioli – Slather grilled corn with a house aioli using our Roasted Garlic EVOO, then top with fresh parmesan and a pinch of smoked salt.
Balsamic: The Star of the Show
Let your balsamics shine as more than just a drizzle:
-
Balsamic Marinated Chicken Skewers – Use Fig & Lemon or Espresso Dark Balsamic to tenderize and flavor your chicken before grilling.
-
Peach Balsamic Glazed Shrimp – Quick-seared shrimp tossed with a glaze of our Peach Jam and Peach White Balsamic—sweet, tangy, and irresistible.
-
Firework Caprese Skewers – Skewer cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, then drizzle with Traditional Aged Balsamic for a bite-size explosion of flavor.
