Side Dish Recipes

Simply roasting some winter vegetables with all kinds of herbs and olive oil is a great side dish in the Thanksgiving menu.

The secret to making the cucumbers crunchy is to salt them first and let the salt draw out excess moisture before use.

This simple recipe is full of flavour, if you can't find chanterelle mushrooms, regular white or cremini mushrooms works fine too, or you can use oyster, shiitake mushrooms, all turn out delicious!

Asian flavors, soy sauce, garlic and ginger blend beautifully in this marinated cold salad. Lots of healthy ingredients along with solid flavor. The crispy fried wontons add a nice crunch.

This very quick and easy sidedish can be made very quickly. A great compliment to the grilled salmon I had with it.

A highly flavourful warm salad made with mung beans. Mung beans are a superfood rich in minerals such as magnesium, potassium, folic acid, zinc and iron. They are also an excellent source of protein and fibre.

Sweet roasted beets and fresh basil match perfectly in this easy to make side dish.

Another Chinese restaurant staple, this time made with whole-wheat flour (you could also use spelt flour). It’s important to cook these in a flat-bottomed frying pan and not a wok. You can make the dough ahead of time and freeze for future use.

I love Asian food. These spring rolls were so refreshing and just delicious, and I also loved the texture because of all these fresh veggies. The dipping sauce was terrific.
