Extra Easy: Side Dishes

[Dokusho_yoku]

What are peoples favourite Slimming World friendly Side dishes? I'm having a BBQ (Indoor or outdoor dependent on the weather) at the weekend for The OH's birthday. I want to make some slimming world friendly sides. Is there any that people would recommend. I plan on making a large rice dish, and putting pickles and beetroot out for people, but id there anything else I could do? TIA

Hi CJ
How about a bowl of roast veg? Carrots, parsnips, red onion/pepper, squash all roast well and you could even do it the day before to save time on the day. Roast alone or with garlic/italian herbs.
I like to do choc covered strawberries for a little treat, or a vodka jelly if its an occasion!
Veg kebabs would work nicely on an actual BBQ, and potato salad can make a nice side that keeps well afterwards.
Hope this helps!

SW chips...cooked in the oven obviously but they're a must!

A curry loaf sliced up would work, even a SW quiche, or a veggie fritatta, things like fish sticks and lean meats.

Have fun xx

EDIT: Actually, I just remembered someone saying they do their curry loaf in muffin tins, that would work even better!

Potato salad, tomato and onion pasta, houmous made from blending chickpeas, quark and herbs/spices of your choice...serve it with vegetable batons, celery, carrot etc.

I make a gorgeous Syn-free mango salsa, which would be perfect with BBQ food! It's just:

- 1 mango, chopped
- red onion, finely chopped
- 1 x tsp crushed chillies
- Juice of half a lime
- Fresh coriander

Simply mix all of the above together! I had it recently with some chilli, ginger and lime chicken and vegetable kebabs and salad. It was absolutely gorgeous!
