Vegan 4th of July Recipes

Queso is an appetizer everyone will love! This vegan version is made with cashews and green chilis.

Warm dips are delicious - but in the hot July heat, you might be craving a cold dip! This spinach dip is the perfect answer. Serve in a bread bowl for an extra special touch.

All the classic flavors you love in a buffalo dip, but without the dairy and meat! This is a dip I make for nearly every holiday and it's always a hit.

This is my go-to vegan appetizer for parties, cookouts, and holidays! They’re so fun, taste really good, and everyone (even meat-eating guests) seems to love them.

These vegan stuffed mushrooms have a quinoa, walnut, sundried tomato, and vegan parmesan filling. Easy for your guests to grab and eat!

Simple hummus with a flavor kick from roasted red peppers! Serve with pita bread, veggies, or crackers.

Hands down, this is my favorite homemade hummus recipe, ever! It’s so easy, so fluffy, and so flavorful.

If you like traditional bruschetta – you will love this totally next level avocado bruschetta! The best part is that it takes less than 10 minutes to make.

Cool off in that hot July heat by making a slushie! One of the best parts about summer is the sweet & juicy watermelon, yum. Keep it kid-friendly, or add a shot of vodka!

I love this fancy summertime drink. Top with blueberries for a more festive 4th of July color scheme.

How gorgeous is this lemonade?! The ice cubes are made from different types of tea to get those beautiful colors.

Simple, delicious coleslaw! Eat as a traditional side, or on veggie hot dogs or seitan sausages. Yum!

My favorite ranch dressing meets pasta and fresh veggies! This ranch pasta salad is always a hit at potlucks and cookouts. Non-vegans aren’t even going to know the difference.

Grilling fresh corn on the cob is a delicious way to enjoy a sweet summer staple! This recipe is easy, quick, and can be made using an outdoor grill or a grill pan on the stove.

Instead of traditional mayo, this potato salad is made with a bean mayo! I promise you though, you won’t taste the beans!

This super flavorful salad calls for just 7 simple ingredients, and you can make it in 10 minutes! The curry dressing is made with vegan yogurt and curry powder – how easy is that?!

The incredible dressing for this unique pasta salad is made using cashews and balsamic vinegar – perfect if you don’t want a super heavy side dish! Also in the mix are strawberries, zucchini, and squash. Yum!

If you haven’t grilled corn, you are missing out on a magical experience. Omg, it’s so good. This version is spicy, thanks to that harissa paste, which makes for a nice contrast against the sweet corn.

These vegan hot dogs are made with carrots! Trust me, the flavor is all in the marinade and they are absolutely delicious with your favorite toppings.

These sloppy joes are made with lentils and cauliflower, but still taste like the classic sandwich! Double the recipe and serve as sliders to feed a crowd!

These vegan meatball subs are one of my favorite comfort food dinners – and they are perfect when feeding guests, too! You can easily double the meatball recipe. Or, to make it simple, pick up a bag of your favorite vegan meatballs. My husband’s favorite meatless meatballs are from Trader Joe’s.

Spice up your 4th of July and make some vegan nachos! My family loves this recipe because we can each customize our own nachos.

Is it even a summer holiday bash with a good boil? This no-seafood boil is absolutely perfect for a vegan 4th of July main dish!

These totally VEGAN bacon cheese dogs from Sarah over at Fried Dandelions are seriously EPIC. I could eat these, like, every single day – not just on the 4th of July.

Not only is this beautiful strawberry tart vegan, it’s also gluten-free and oil-free! Add some blueberries on top with the strawberries and you have a red, white, and blue dessert

Slightly-sweet vegan chocolate muffins loaded with chocolate chips. Perfect handheld dessert for mingling guests.

The perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day, these firecracker popsicles easy to make and so exciting for the kids! Another plus: they aren’t totally packed with sugar like popsicles from the store.

Add a little magic to your patriotic Independence Day party and make these magic cookie bars! Make a double batch though - everyone is sure to come back for seconds.

Is it a party without brownies? Enough said.

Need a simple, but delicious dessert to bring to a 4th of July get together? This apple crisp is the perfect fit!

What could make a peanut butter cookie even better? Peanut butter cups pressed into the middle, of course!
