At times the easiest recipes I make finish up currently being my absolute favorites. To me there’s almost nothing greater than a handful of fresh new substances and a killer seasoning or sauce, especially when it will come to sides! Today we’re ringing in spring with 17 of the ideal healthful side dish recipes that are best for pairing with basically any meal you make.

If you’ve ever opened your fridge and observed some chicken to cook, it’s possible experienced some leftovers laying all around, or had been just craving a big plate of veggies, these sides will be your new go-to’s. My beloved way to meal-prep is to prepare dinner protein in a single of these remarkable marinades, and pair it with 2-3 of these sides for the week — easy, and oh so delectable.

Quite a few of these recipes are excellent as-is for lunch (have you tried using this salad yet??) and I enjoy bringing them to functions. Truth of the matter be told I usually load up on a number of sides and ignore about the main dish. These are just THAT very good!

ALSO: if you need some Easter menu inspo I’ve obtained you covered with the side dish magic beneath.
