Now that summer is here, grilling is here too. What that really means is my husband does all the work while I prepare a few easy side dishes. I reached out to my dietitian friends to get some BBQ food ideas. And boy did they deliver!
So here are 10 side dish recipes to give you some inspiration this summer.
1. Black bean & Avocado salad: I’ve been making this black bean salad from All Recipes for a few years now and love it. It’s perfect to bring to a barbecue or eat for a quick lunch. I pretty much follow this recipe except I skip the corn and decrease the salt and amount of dressing.
2. Roasted Vegetable Couscous: I’ve been eyeing this recipe from Budget Bytes for awhile. I recently made it for a family gathering and it was a huge hit. It’s definitely going in the summer rotation. (more…)
What a delicious collection! Can’t wait to plan our menu for this weekend! Thanks for including my slaw!
Thanks again Holley for contributing. I can’t wait to try your slaw!
Wow. What a roundup. Now that it’s FINALLY summer here in New England, these recipes are going to keep me very busy. Thanks for including my tabbouleh recipe 🙂
Thank you Liz!!
so happy it’s finally grilling season! Can’t wait to try some of these great sides. Thanks for including my sweet potato salad. Hope you get a chance to try it and enjoy it as much as my family does!
I will make it soon. Thanks again!

It’s much like the one you link to here, but it also includes black beans. I can testify that it is delicious and very satisfying.
Thanks…it looks delicious!
