Whether you’re hosting a Fourth of July cookout or simply looking for fresh meal ideas this summer, I’m on ABC Charleston with easy recipes and better-for-you products make it simple to add more flavor to your table.
Make a 5-Ingredient BLT Summer Salad
One of my favorite summer sides is this simple BLT salad made with SUNSET® Flavor Bombs® tomatoes, which add sweet, rich flavor to every bite.
Now through mid-July, you can find SUNSET Flavor Bombs in limited-edition red, white and blue packaging celebrating America’s 250th anniversary while highlighting that Flavor Bombs are grown right here in the USA.
Besides salads, they’re also perfect for snacking, charcuterie boards and summer entertaining.
To make the salad, simply toss together romaine lettuce, SUNSET Flavor Bombs tomatoes, red onion, crispy bacon and G Hughes Zero Sugar Ranch Dressing.
Fire Up the Grill with Zero-Sugar Flavor
Another summer favorite is BBQ chicken wings made with G Hughes Zero Sugar Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce.
G Hughes offers a full line of zero-sugar BBQ sauces, dipping sauces, condiments, marinades and salad dressings that make it easy to add bold flavor to burgers, grilled vegetables and your favorite proteins—without added sugar. Every product in the lineup is also low in carbs and gluten free.
They’re a staple for Fourth of July cookouts and summer gatherings when you want big flavor without compromising your wellness goals. You can find G Hughes products at Walmart, Publix and Harris Teeter.
Give Corn a Delicious Upgrade
Corn ribs are one of the most fun summer side dishes, especially when served with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® NutriRich™.
Their new NutriRich formula is the brand’s biggest evolution in more than 40 years, offering improved taste, creaminess and added nutrition. Just one tablespoon is an excellent source of vitamins A, D, E and B12 and also provides omega-3 ALA.
It’s an easy swap for dairy butter and works beautifully for sizzling, sautéing, spreading and everyday cooking. Look for the Original, Light and Extra Creamy tubs and sticks at retailers nationwide, and visit the brand’s wellness hub for recipes and more inspiration.
