The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. If you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.
