So, I bring to you some of the best, crowd-pleasing, finger-licking, and lip-smacking, side dishes that would make you a fan of yourself because you choose these dishes from our very own Freshy.com. Let’s go through them one by one and get the menu for your next party, assorted!

Peruvian Bean Salad

Salads are the perfect way to start a party. Cold salads with their fresh and raw ingredients will replenish you and make your mood instantly better. The Salad Recipe I have for you has everything delicious and healthy. From minced garlic and its antioxidants benefits to the fresh veggies and their refreshness, this dish has everything.

This salad takes the lead on all other salads being ready in just 15 minutes tops. It is economical when made in large portions for a big party with little to no effort. Not only that, if you have leftover salad, you can refrigerate it and enjoy it with your next lunch or dinner. It is a perfect party side dish, a tasteful and healthy snack for yourself and your family. A salad that has everything, what more do you need from life right?

Hummus Layer Dip

Are you bored with the same old traditional hummus recipes and want some twist to jazz up your hummus goodness? I have got just the thing for you. The recipes from Freshy.com never seem to amaze me and, the same is the case with this hummus side dish, being perfect for a big holiday hang out.

It has lemons, it has creamy cream cheese, it has spice (from the pepperoncini peppers), tanginess (from the tomatoes), healthy crumbly texture (from the feta cheese), and cooling freshness (from the cucumber). All in all, a perfect companion for a complete side dish.

You can make this dip in large quantities with minimal effort and time. You can also store it for later without any worries about it losing texture or taste. So let’s get you an easy, healthy, and tasty twist on hummus that is super cool and tangy and spicy and flavourful.

Benihana Japanese Fried Rice

Last but not least, an excellent side dish that’s unique yet traditional, is easy to make yet complex to taste, and has all kinds of healthy ingredients. This dish is ideal because rice makes up for a filling side dish with the main dish like steak, stews, or soups. When the rice has veggies like peas, carrots, onions, and proteins from the eggs and the right kind of spices, it gives you a perfect tasty side dish. It can also be a healthy main dish for an effortless home date accompanied with an easy-to-make Salad.

This rice dish can be made in large quantities to serve a lot of people. The goodness of eggs, the umami taste of soy sauce, the freshness of veggies, the richness of butter, the saltiness of salt, and the sophisticated pepperiness of black paper, I mean, if IT doesn’t bring life to a party, nothing will.
