Looking to add more veggies to your diet? Check out these tried and true vegetable side dishes and load up on the flavor and crunch!
I’m an avid vegetable lover and I’m grateful that my family loves veggies, too. My little one is even always asking for cucumbers, celery or carrots in her lunches.
We love adding pickled red onions to salads, smothered burritos and egg sandwiches. No Sunday dinner is complete without a crunchy green salad.
Basically, more is more when it comes to vegetables in our house, which is why I am always looking for unique vegetable side dishes to try out on my family.
If you’re looking to eat more vegetables or just want to switch up your usual side dish game, check out these savory and delicious recipes and give them a try!
