Please share your favorite, healthy side dishes.
I need to find some healthy things to serve with my main courses. I seem to do the same things over and over again. Please share yours with me.

Re: Please share your favorite, healthy side dishes.
Ya know.. I kind of view almost anything that is minimally processed and freshly prepared as 'healthy'. Some of our favorites are:
Grilled Veggies
Grilled Veggie Salad
Green Salads
Tomato Mint Salad
Cucumber Salad
Wild Rice and Mushrooms
Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Roasted Broccoli
Tabouleh Stuffed Tomatoes
Mashed Cauliflower with Garlic
Sauteed spinach w/lemon
Broccoli Rabe (sauteed with garlic)
Baked Potatoes
Quinoa pilaf
Roasted Kale
Marinated Portabello mushrooms
Sauerkraut
Corn Salad
Avocado Salsa

Re: Please share your favorite, healthy side dishes.
i love blanching string beans and adding a little olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. I know its a little boring but I also love steaming veggies.

Zucchini Fries
POINTS® value | 2
Servings | 4
Preparation Time | 7 min
Cooking Time | 12 min
Level of Difficulty | Easy
Ingredients
* 4 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray
* 1 tsp Italian seasoning
* 1 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
* 3/4 tsp table salt
* 3/4 cup(s) dried bread crumbs, panko-variety suggested
* 2 medium zucchini, about 7-inches each, cut into 4 chunks, then each chunk halved
* 2 large egg white(s), whipped until frothy (almost soft peaks)
Instructions
* Preheat oven to 425ºF. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix together Italian seasoning, flour and salt. Place bread crumbs in another small bowl.
* Dredge a zucchini fry in flour mixture and then dip into egg whites; dredge in bread crumbs. Place coated zucchini on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining ingredients; liberally coat with cooking spray.
* Roast, turning once, until desired crispness, about 12 minutes. Yields about 8 fries per serving.
Notes
Use this technique with any summer squash or eggplant. It also works great with thick-cut onion rings or even green tomatoes.
For extra crispy fries, increase the oven temperature to 500ºF and knock 2 minutes off the cooking time.
