Dairy-Free 4th of July

The 4th of July is basically a dairy minefield: cheesy dips, sour-cream-loaded everything, ice cream, creamy slaws. None of that means you have to sit on the sidelines with a plain burger and a sad handful of chips.

This is a full dairy-free cookout spread. Start with melty queso and loaded nachos, bring out hearty chili and walking Frito pie for the main event, add loaded baked potatoes hot off the grill, and finish with a red-and-blue berry tart. Every dish delivers the classic flavor people expect at a summer party, with no dairy anywhere in sight. Fire up the grill and load a plate.
