Re: BBQ Side Dishes
A pasta salad
a potato salad ( i do mine with olive oil, salt, pepper, celery & red onions- you can even add roasted peppers- YUM)
My friend brought a mango salsa she made with chips to my last BBQ- big hit!
I did teriayaki glazed corn last time- mix some teriyaki sauce with garlic in a bowl, brush onto corn and wrap in foil- it's delish!

Re: BBQ Side Dishes
German Potato Salad is so easy to make and really good!
Corn Salad is another favorite.
We also do Tabouleh or Quinoa salad sometimes.
