A side dish, true to its name, is some extra food on the side to accompany the main course in a meal.
In culinary terms, side dishes are there to create a balanced, well-rounded meal by brightening the flavors and adding textural contrast.
Since we’re in the midst of summer, the main course is usually lightly cooked meat, or its vegan alternatives, either on the grill, under the broiler, or perhaps in the deep frier.
The side dishes to go along with it must be fresh, simple, and enticing. Because we’re cooking at home, and not in the sheeny kitchen of a Michelin-starred restaurant, they should also come together quickly and easily.
