What are some great sides to a picnic or potluck?
A hearty salad is one of the best side dishes for a picnic or potluck. Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, spinach, tomatoes, and cucumbers can be tossed together with vinaigrette or other light dressing options. It’s simple to prepare and doesn’t require a lot of advanced cooking. Additionally, it’s a great way to get a good balance of nutrients into your picnic meal.
Pasta salad is another picnic and potluck staple. Cooked macaroni, spiral noodles, or any other small pasta shapes can be mixed with various ingredients like vegetables, cheese, olives, and tuna for a filling side dish. A light vinaigrette dressing keeps the salad light and flavorful.
Finally, no picnic or potluck is complete without potatoes. From a classic potato salad to oven-baked sweet potatoes, potato dishes provide a good amount of starch and can be just as versatile as any other side dish you can make. Add herbs, spices, and other seasonings to give the potatoes a unique flavor and ensure a side dish to please your guests.
