Why these sides are different:

• Most BBQ sides are forgettable. These aren't.
• Every recipe in this collection was chosen because it does something a little unexpected — an ingredient you wouldn't think to add, a technique that takes it up a notch, or a flavor combo that just works in a way you didn't see coming. The kind of food that looks like you really thought about it, even when it came together in 15 minutes.
• And because they're designed for outdoor entertaining, they travel well, they hold up on a buffet table, and most can be made ahead so you're not scrambling while the grill is going.

What's Inside:

10 side dishes that will change your BBQ game:

• Southern Cornbread Salad — a layered showstopper that can be made the night before
• Jalapeño Cream Corn — rich, spicy, and absolutely addictive
• Grilled Romaine Caesar Salad — yes, you can grill lettuce, and it's incredible
• Creamy Broccoli Cole Slaw — lighter and fresher than anything from a bag
• Creamy Cucumber Pasta Salad — tangy, herby, and surprisingly elegant
• Cabbage Steaks with Chimichurri & Breadcrumbs — the vegetarian dish that meat-eaters fight over
• Jalapeño Popper Potato Salad — everything you love about jalapeño poppers, in salad form
• Dr. Pepper Baked Beans — deeply savory, slightly sweet, and completely unforgettable
• Toasted Asparagus Salad with Pistachios — bright and fresh with serious texture
• Smoked Brisket & Cheese Dip — the ultimate use for leftover brisket

Every recipe includes serving size, prep and cook time, a full ingredient list, and clear step-by-step instructions. Plus a full-page photo for every dish.
