A gluten free Independence Day calls for a red, white, and blue theme and lots of celiac-friendly picnic/party food. Here are some ideas to get you started:
NOTE: Each year I write an article about Independence Day. Click here to read the most up-to-date article.
♦ This link will take you to recipes for jello salad, potato salad, and pasta salad — all three are red, white, and blue. The recipes are not specifically gluten free, but the substitutions will be obvious.
♦ Top off your holiday meal with a red, white, and blue, desert pizza. You’ll need a gluten free crust, of course. If you are interested in purchasing a “safe” crust or crust mix, use the widget at the end of article to purchase one on-line from The Gluten Free Pantry.

These are great ideas! I’m always looking for gf alternatives and ideas as two of my kids have a gluten allergy. I love the idea of the red, white, and blue desert pizza. I will definitely be making this! For the 4th, I plan on doing a lot of grilling – do you have any advice on gf grilling sauces? I’ve been buying gf pan-asian grilling sauces from this brand called Tastybite for a while now, and they’re delicious! We do want to have regular bbq flavor though. Do you know of a good brand? Thanks!
