Need a Recipe for a Side Dish that Slays?
Bringing you a round-up of the best summer side dishes!
Let’s set the stage… you have an epic main dish that you plan to toss on the grill or smoker this summer, but what are you going to serve with it? This very question takes over our brains every time we plan to have a backyard cookout with family/friends or need to bring a side to share for a potluck! We decided to put some of the best options all in one place for all of you (& us) :) So, here we go!
Pasta Salads
There isn’t much that beats a classic pasta salad! Full of color, flavor, easily prep ahead of time, and can definitely feed a crowd!




Grain Salads
Fresh and delicious options that also add a good source of protein & fiber + all the veggies!


Other Delicious Salads
Our epic Street Corn Salad can be enjoyed in SO MANY different ways! It’s simply the best and that Broccoli Bacon Salad is a midwest classic.


Sides to serve with Tortilla Chips
We can’t even count how many times this guac has been requested at a get-together! It is on repeat every summer and so is this corn salad. Just scoop and eat!
