Garlic Ginger Green Beans

Garlic Ginger Green Beans by John Spottiswood

These are an excellent, healthy side dish to any grilled meat. I highly recommend them with the Chinese BBQ chicken recipe below, but honestly these would go well with just about anything. Unfortunately these were tapped out long before our chicken, so make more than you think you need. They are great the next day too!

Asparagus Almandine

Asparagus Almandine by Salad Foodie

From the description of this recipe reads: "Something magical happens when asparagus meets almonds and lemon. Crispy nuts, tart citrus and ... asparagus combine to make a taste sensation. This side dish is elegant for any entertaining party, but easy enough for any ordinary meal." I made half the recipe following instructions and…

Mitch's Homemade Dill Pickles

Mitch's Homemade Dill Pickles by Micheline

These homemade dill pickles are so tasty and easy to make. They taste much better than store bought pickles except for Mrs. White's, my favourite. You can make them spicier by adding hot peppers to the brine.

Japanese Spinach Salad, Ohitashi

Japanese Spinach Salad, Ohitashi by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious way to consume large quantities of one of the healthiest foods on the planet...spinach! I came to love this when I lived in Japan from 1991-1992, and make it frequently now because it is so easy, healthful and delicious. Serve this with any Asian dish, or any meat and potatoes. It's not particularly spicy, but…

Green Beans, New Potatoes and Bacon

Green Beans, New Potatoes and Bacon by Salad Foodie

A delicious side to serve with meat, or as a main luncheon dish with salad. Honestly I could almost eat a whole plateful of this! It is so simple but so tasty. First run-through I followed the recipe exactly from Homestyle Amish Kitchen Cookbook by Harvest House Publishers 2010. Having made it several times since I made only minor…

Roasted Garlic & White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

Roasted Garlic & White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes by Amos Miller

This is both very flavorful and versatile, pairing with red meat dishes and fowl. If you cannot obtain elephant garlic, just buy the biggest bulbs you can find. Please try to locate white cheddar and avoid the yellow or orange cheddars. While some may be flavorful, we're going for an appearance that will deceive the diner into…

Sweet Zucchini Pickles

Sweet Zucchini Pickles by Salad Foodie

Too many zucchini - what to do? A recipe by Chuck Allen (Palm Springs) caught my eye. Expectations are high from this retired chef, so he takes this recipe as a hostess gift. It is as colorful as it is delicious and lasts about 6 weeks refrigerated. The only thing I added was small cauliflowerettes. What an attractive conversation…

Simmered Cabbage and Shitake Mushrooms (Yasai no Fukumeni)

Simmered Cabbage and Shitake Mushrooms (Yasai no Fukumeni) by John Spottiswood

This combination is truly fantastic. Of course you have to like both ingredients..but if you do you'll love the combination. We served them last night with fresh sashimi and three other great Japanese side dishes (oshitashi, yakisoba, and simmered daikon), and this dish got the most praises. It's also a beautiful presentation, easy…

Pickled peppers

Pickled peppers by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

Autumn is near and I love having a closet full of conserved veggies prepared for the winter. Hot peppers are great with winter soups; they melt you inside out :)). Here’s a super easy method for conserving peppers that also works for other veggies too.

Kale with Kalamata Olives

Kale with Kalamata Olives by Salad Foodie

Kale is hearty and healthy, and often teams in winter soups with potatoes and beans. But in this recipe, based on Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, it takes center stage. Quick to prepare it is a pleasant change from other green sides. Don’t let the volume of a one pound bunch of kale scare you off - it cooks down!

Dandelion

Dandelion by sevgi

If you are looking for some variety and want to try a healthy side dish, then this dandelion recipe is a must! People think of them as being a common weed, but it is more than that. It is also extremely healthy. This recipe is very easy to make. It has been passed down from my great grandmother.
