Grains

Grain based side dishes offer a heartier option than vegetables alone though they’re often combined with vegetables to create a more interesting side dish in both flavor and texture. Millet tabbouleh is a gluten-free twist on the traditional Middle Eastern side dish and this chestnut stuffing is unbeatable for your holiday spread. Our pesto couscous is a quick and easy side dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights.
