Summer is here and I have rounded up tons of delicious and healthy Summer Side Dish Recipes for you! I’ve included dips, salads and so much more!
While I’m not a super fan of the hot 100+ temperatures that summer brings, I do love all the BBQs and picnics that happen this time of year. There’s just something special about sitting on the porch, grilling your dinner and piling on all the delicious sides.
I’ve put together some of my favorite healthy summer sides for you to make this season, because we all know that side dishes are the most important part of the meal 🙂 All recipes are vegetarian and you’ll find lots of gluten free and vegan recipes too!

I agree, summer does always feel special. Now living in Madrid I feel like we actually get a proper summer compared to Switzerland. Those BBQ Baked Beans and Lemony Broccoli Salad sound especially good for summer picnics.

Sometimes it feels like it’s always summer around here, haha! I guess I’ll take it if it means I get to eat food like this all the time though, haha!
