The color red is important for Juneteenth as it signifies resilience and respect to West African ancestors. So add some red foods to your menu as you plan your celebration!
- Strawberries and raspberries—add to lemonade, use in fresh salads, or a tasty pie.
- Red cabbage—Add the crunchy color to any cabbage slaw or leafy green salad with a red wine vinaigrette.
- Beets—Pickled beets are a tasty side dish with a little zing!
- Red beans—Add to a three-bean salad or use in red beans and rice.
