3 Lovely, Gluten-Free Side Dishes Worth Your Time
/
When gluten-free living became more and more popular in the public zeitgeist, nay-sayers, as they are continually motivated to do, dismissed the entire enterprise as silly, as if were going to limit everything its practitioners could eat. Of course, this was untrue, but it has become even more untrue as restaurants, food businesses, and wider culture understand the benefits and widely conform to gluten-free offerings.
Gluten-free diets are as varied and diverse as any other diets that have health-focused aims as their goal. In fact, one of the most enjoyable parts of starting renewed gluten-free living is that you get to expand your repertoire as a home cook, including when you entertain those who come to visit your home.
In this post, we’ll take you through three excellent gluten-free side dishes worth your time.
Perfect Your Coleslaws!
A wonderful coleslaw can make a lovely side dish and goes well with barbecue and other forms of delectable roast you may find enjoyable. The beautiful thing about coleslaw is that it’s so light and more-ish that you can make a big batch, store it overnight, and still enjoy it. In addition to that, a perfected coleslaw doesn’t have to use anything special, just get the dressing right with this fresh cole slaw recipe, and you can use the basic shredded cabbage you find in the cheap aisle of the supermarket. This is such a cost-effective and delicious means of feeding people that you’ll wonder why you haven’t always had this side dish present since the moment you began eating gluten-free.
Enjoy Twice-Baked Potatoes!
Potatoes are a starchy vegetable, but have no gluten in them at all. It can be good to use russet potatoes, enjoy a little sour cream, some whole milk, some granulated garlic or onion powder, and some worthwhile cheddar cheese or a cheese of your preference.
After you coat them in seasoning and oil you can bake them for an hour slowly and in wrapped foil, then scoop out the potato from each half and then add all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Then, once you have that mixture you can place that back into the skins and bake it again for fifteen or so minutes. With some simple green garnish like chopped parsley or scallions, you’ll have a lovely side dish for a larger buffet or lunch..
Try Southern Collard Greens!
Collard greens are thoroughly healthy, but you can spice them up a little, southern style to add a great side dish. Cutting your greens into two-inch ribbons and mixing with an adornment like well-seasoned turkey wings. When you shred this meat into your bowl of collard greens you have a beautiful leafy green and almost nutty taste with the perfect bite of the low-calorie turkey to add some depth to the flavor and texture. You’ll really surprise your guests with this fantastic variant on a beautiful dish.
With this advice, you’re certain to enjoy some lovely gluten-free side dishes worth your time.
