5 CBD-Inspired Dishes (and Drinks) to Include in Your Fourth of July Cookout

Nothing says summer in America like a Fourth of July cookout. Whether you’re hosting a neighborhood block party or just getting together with a couple of friends, having a Fourth of July cookout is a timeless U.S. tradition. Warm weather, friends, family and fireworks are seriously a staple this time of year. If you’re planning a party on the fourth, why not live your best life by throwing a few CBD-inspired dishes and drinks into the mix? We know we will.

Following are but a few CBD dishes and drinks that will wow your party guests.

5 CBD Dishes for Your Fourth of July

1. Red, White and Blue CBD Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs prove to be welcome at any party. Why not make this popular party dish even more so by adding some CBD into the mix? There are several ways to make deviled eggs, but basic ingredients come down to mixing mayonnaise, mustard and some spices together (typically garlic powder and onion powder).

Turning your run-of-the-mill deviled eggs into CBD deviled eggs is easy. Simply add your desired serving size of CBD oil into your mayonnaise and mustard mixture and incorporate it well. To keep things simple, consider adding the same amount of CBD oil as you do mayo and mustard.

Step up your Fourth of July game by using red and blue food coloring to dye halved egg whites before adding the CBD-infused filling. Simply fill two bowls with hot water and add a tablespoon of white vinegar to each.

In the first bowl, add 1-2 teaspoons of concentrated red gel food coloring (it offers a more vibrant color than traditional food coloring) and mix well. In the second bowl, add 1-2 teaspoons of concentrated blue gel food coloring and mix well. Submerge an equal amount of halved egg whites in each bowl and allow to sit for a couple of minutes until they reach the desired color.

Remove the colored eggs from the dye mixture and allow to dry before adding the filling. Just don’t forget to keep an equal amount of white egg whites!

2. CBD-Infused Guacamole

If you think guacamole doesn’t belong at your Fourth of July cookout, think again. Guacamole gets gobbled up regardless of what holiday you’re celebrating and is a dish that CBD can easily be incorporated into. It’s also really easy to make!

Ingredients:

• 4 ripe avocados, pitted and halved
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 small tomatoes, finely chopped
• ½ medium white onion, finely chopped
• Fresh juice of 1 lime
• 1 ml CBD oil tincture (our Summer Lemon flavor adds a beautifully blended burst of fresh citrus taste)

Directions:

• Mash avocado and add salt, cumin and garlic powder and incorporate well.
• Mix in tomato and onion.
• Add lime juice and CBD oil and mix well.
• Serve with red, white and blue corn tortilla chips.

3. CBD Potato Salad

Potato salad is undoubtedly expected at any Fourth of July cookout. Your guests won’t be disappointed when you dress up your famous potato salad with a little bit of CBD. By taking your everyday mayonnaise-based potato salad and stirring some CBD oil into the mayo mix, you’ve got a new take on an old classic.

4. CBD Burgers

Burgers are as American as apple pie and no cookout would be complete without them (unless you’re a vegetarian, of course). Add a little hemp oil into your ingredient list and you’ve got yourself one supercharged American favorite.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds ground beef (grass-fed, free-range preferred)
• ¼-½ onion, chopped finely
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce or Bragg’s liquid aminos
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1-2 ml CBD tincture (unflavored)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• Combine all ingredients in large bowl and mix well. Form into 4-5 round patties.
• Grill on medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side.
• Serve with buns and condiments.
