50 Healthy Holiday Side Dishes - - - > www.theroastedroot.net

We’re jettisoning into the holiday season, and aside from spending valuable time with family, holidays are all about side dishes.

Family. Side dishes. That’s it.

Plus pie.

Since I’m a lady (vicious lie) who tries to keep side dishes mayo-free somewhat healthy, I find it can be difficult each year to decide on a menu that’s not get-out-of-town indulgent, yet is still pleasing to guests.

So in preparation for my holidays and yours, I came rummaged up with 50 healthy holiday side dishes from all over blog town to help us all do some planning. And eating. Happy side dishing, my friends!

Here they are:
