Great Holiday Sides These special and attractive side dishes will give you a head start on the holidays. With preparations and cleanup behind you, the cook can enjoy the meal as much as the guests. Simply select your favorite entrĂŠe, such as a turkey, pork loin roast or beef tenderloin, and add a crunchy salad, two or more fruits or vegetables and then your side dishes. Remember to include an array of
colors, shapes and textures when planning your menu. For example, cut carrots in julienne strips or on a diagonal if you already have something round on the plate. If one vegetable is a starch, like garlic potatoes or a sweet potato bake, select a vegetable such as green beans, asparagus or carrots. If a side dish is mashed, pair it with a firm vegetable or a fruit salad such as cranberry ring.
