Searching for easy vegetable recipes and interesting vegetable side dish recipes can be challenge. We should look beyond vegetable salad recipes and be more creative like using grilled vegetable recipes for a simple yet interesting side dish that is not the "ordinary". Often people will say that they have difficulty with side dishes. A simple rule is to look at the entire meal for variety and complimentary textures. Each meal should have a main protein, a starch such as potato or rice and a vegetable. If you are serving a stew, you would not want your vegetable side dish like creamed potatoes but rather rice or mashed potatoes along with a fresh grilled vegetable or a simple steaming until they are "al dente" or still crunchy in the middle. Nothing is more disappointing than a beautiful array of vegetables that when you bite into them, disintegrate into mush!
