And every year, the words hit us differently. This year, they carry extra weight: today marks 250 years since those words were first signed. Two hundred and fifty years! We challenge you to take five minutes (free from holiday commotion) to read the Declaration in its entirety, just as generations before us have done. Let the words wash over you. Words that started a revolution. And above all, have a safe and happy Fourth! READ THE DECLARATION Looking for last-minute menu inspiration? Looking to elevate your Fourth of July festivities? We're guessing the mains have already been purchased. But, if you are looking for some easy, delicious, elevated sides, below are three of our favorites. Spicy Watermelon with Mint Salad The Defined Dish first made this salad (as far as we know), and we simply tweaked it a bit; suddenly, we had the salad we wanted to eat all summer long! It's perfect for large, festive gatherings. GET THE RECIPE French Potato Salad Give it a different name if "French" is not what you want to make today, but this country is a melting pot, and the French did help us in the Revolutionary War! Whatever you call it, know that it's one you'll crave again and again. And, it sits well for a potluck. GET THE RECIPE Mexican Street Corn Salad (or dip) Mexican street corn, cut off the cob, served as a side dish, dip, topping, or even tossed into salads. Trust us. It's sooooo good!
