Salads
What is summer without some fresh and delicious salads? These salads are the perfect no-cook side to bring to your next BBQ or picnic.








Cooked or Grilled Vegetables
Veggies go with anything, especially during the summer! These are my favourite vegetable sides. Bonus: you can cook most of them in the air fryer, on the grill or Instant Pot so they won't heat up your house!










Rice, Pasta & Other Grains
Want a heartier side to go with your grilled mains? Try anything on this list, ranging from cauliflower rice to pasta salad! Most of these sides cook hands-off so you'll have time to prep and cook your mains easily.
