Warmer weather means lighter meals and with them come lighter sides.Let the mashed potatoes and green beans casseroles rest. Try dishes and recipes that are not are heavy, but more delicate. T
o most laughter meal is chicken cutlets or fish.what works with these? If you're in a hurry, try these,
The SUddenly Salad by Betty Crocker is easy enough to make.It comes with the pastas that has to be cooked and seasoning.The last is made with oil and water and then is tossed with the rotelli.I plan on using this as a side with plant based chicken tenders.You can also make this using any chuncky pasta and a variety of differnt seasonings. Add grape tomatoes and cut up broccoli florets for more flavor and substance.The other , Knorr's Spanish Rice is another easy make.It's ust cooking the rice and adding either a tablespoon of vegetable or olive oil.THis can work with chicken, or fish. You Ould even add leftover Londin Broil to it for a quick meal.Again it can easily be replicated with tomato paste cooked into white rice. Lemon rice is a great addition to any main dish.Use fresh lemon juice and zest for this along with either butter or a plant based one like Melt. Almonds work well in this too if you want a more exotic side, especially if you're cooking chicken shikebobs.This also is a good side dish to grilled salmon too.
Switch to lighter mains and sides as the weather becomes warmer.It could be a pasta salad.It could be a side of rice. Either one is very good.
