Ever get stumped for side dish recipes? With this list of 10 Easy BBQ Side Dishes, you’ll never wonder what to bring to a summer grill out again!
It’s grilling season!
Here in Minnesota, we don’t take our summers for granted. We fill every waking minute of warm weather with opportunities to be outside, including backyard BBQs galore filled with burgers, brats and plenty of BBQ side dishes.
We usually have a good idea of the main dish for our grill outs (currently crushing on these Grilled Italian Sausage Wraps), but sometimes we are stumped for easy side dish recipes. One person can only eat so many ears of corn on the cob, right?
So we’ve compiled a list of some of our go-to side dishes for grilled chicken, steak, pork chops, or whatever protein you throw on the grill.
Whether you’re a fan of pasta salads, potato salad, healthy fruit and vegetable side dishes or need a gluten-free side dish for guests with dietary restrictions, we have some of the best BBQ side dishes for everyone.
This easy, make-ahead salad is always a hit with a crowd! It's a tangy pasta salad filled with tomatoes, feta and Kalamata olives & goes great with anything from the grill!
This Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad recipe is great for feeding a group! Who can say no to a make-ahead salad filled with bacon, tomatoes, cheese and a creamy ranch dressing?
This mayo-free Danish Potato Salad is filled with green onions, capers, parsley and finished with a light, tangy olive oil dressing. It goes with everything at a picnic and is my family’s favorite summer salad!

Hi, I’m Anna, a former corporate communications nerd turned food fanatic. Turns out I like cooking for others A LOT more than explaining HR policies to them. C’mon over!
Anna, At Thanksgiving, my favorite part of the meal is the sides. I love the idea of a variety of BBQ side dishes to have on hand for meals. Thanks for a terrific round up–I’ve pinned to Rockin’ Recipe Round Ups because this rocks.
I am searching for recipes to take to a family reunion the end of July. The venue is over 2 hours away so I need to make something that won’t spoil. Any ideas will be appreciate. Thanks
