4 best vegetable sides for BBQ party
Sides are the unsung heroes of BBQ. Bright, refreshing and veggie-rich, they balance out the richness of those chops, burgers, and hot dogs. They also meet our (strict) potluck criteria: They feed a crowd, travel nicely, and can be made in advance. Here’s our take on four beloved classics — green bean salad with herbs, sweet roasted peppers, and scarlet wine vinegar; mustard potato salad with crispy chickpeas; crispy roasted sesame; and grilled corn salad with lots of lemon and cilantro.
Mustard Potato Salad with Green Beans
This French potato salad is lighter than the standard deli full of mayo and it has a wonderful bright flavor from the mustard, shallots, vinegar, and capers. It’s hearty enough to work with a burger but delicate enough to be served with a whole grilled fish.
