One of most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.
