cheap good side dish: Italian Green Beans:
2 packages of frozen green beans
1 container of cherry tomatoes (halfed)
some Italain parsely chopped
1/2 cup of light Italian Dressing
steam green beans till almost done
Add to bowl of halfed cherry tomatoes, parsley and dresssing
Toss to coat and let sit in fridge for atleast 4 hours!
Its even better the next day and it doesn't got bad at picnics since not mayo or anything!
My favorite crowd-pleasing barbecue side is what we call crunchy slaw (though there's a million names for it).
2 bags of shredded cabbage (or one head of cabbage shredded)
1 pack of scallions
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup vinegar (white)
1/2 cup sugar
1 seasoning packet from chicken flavored ramen noodles
Mix all of that together at least 2 hours ahead of time (I do the night before).
Right before serving, add the uncooked ramen noodles crunched up, (I crunch them before I open the package so it's all contained in the plastic and then I put in a ziplock with the other last minute ingredients.) 1 package slivered almonds, and 1 sm package of sunflower seeds.
It's CHEAP, EASY, and always gets compliments. :)
Thanks guys, I think I'll do both!
