I love this recipe, it’s so tasty. Bethany doesn’t like some of the ingredients, so I get to eat the whole batch! I like it any time of the year. It’s a light and refreshing salad.

Side Dish Recipes
Recipes that are served alongside main protein dishes.
Small Batch “Baked” Beans Recipe
Our “baked” beans recipe is cooked on the stovetop and takes 15 minutes to cook when all the ingredients are combined. They taste like they have been baked, with a robust flavor and thick sauce. The beans are a perfect blend of sweet, savory, and smoky.
Honey Glazed Carrots Recipe for Two
Carrots are so beautiful in color and flavor. I love them raw. I don’t even need Ranch dressing for dipping. If you are looking for a cooked carrot recipe that lets their beauty shine through, this is the one you want to make. Simple and fast, with a light touch of seasoning.
Hawaiian Macaroni Salad Recipe for Two
This recipe is a mild, slightly sweet macaroni salad. Some recipes add pineapple, but we chose the traditional route.
Peruvian Roasted Potatoes Recipe for Two
These are great-tasting potatoes. The potatoes roast quickly because you parboil them first. The spices are found in most kitchens; no need to purchase exotic spices.
Potato Salad with Apple Recipe for Two
This potato salad is amazing. It is not drenched in mayonnaise, so the flavors shine. It’s tasty and light in flavor. This potato salad is our go-to when we need a side dish for our grilled meals.
Asian Inspired Asparagus Recipe for Two
We both love fresh asparagus, pickled or canned not so much. The sauce brings this dish to the next level. You can serve hot or at room temperature. We enjoy it both ways. This sauce could be used with fresh green beans as well.
Broccoli Salad Recipe for Two
It’s a salad that can be made almost year-round. It is crisp and loaded with flavor. Not loaded down with sauce, but enough to add a zing to the salad.
Herb Vegetable Trio Recipe for Two
We were both amazed by this vegetable dish. Bethany and I don’t usually care for thyme or rosemary, but they’re both in this dish. Bethany is not a zucchini girl so she doesn’t eat it. I love it, so more for me.
Carrots with an Asian Twist Recipe for Two
These go well with any dish that has an Asian flair. We both enjoy cooked carrots, and we especially liked these with the sauce.
