Published March 17, 2016

When planning meals, we tend to place a lot of emphasis on the main course—but side dishes are truly the unsung heroes at every table, especially at group gatherings like cookouts and barbecues. They’re what bring people together (“can someone pass the potatoes?”) and add harmony to a given meal’s flavors. Plus, they just make the whole experience more fun. How could a serving of Grilled Baby Bok Choy with Lime Butter not? Here’s some of our favs that’ll get you excited to fire up your grill.
