If you are hosting a backyard barbecue this Fourth of July (or even looking for some scrumptious dishes to take along to another gathering), you're in luck! This complete menu has something for everyone, from sweet and smokey grilled corn with cilantro-lime pesto and couscous salad with cherry tomatoes to succulent marinated flank steak and fresh zucchini ribbon salad. Top it all off with a mouthwatering vanilla-scented cobbler overflowing with juicy nectarines. And get your buzz on with sparkly vodka cocktails infused with cucumber, mint, and lemon. Happy Fourth!
