Christmas side dishes

Every household has its special Christmas roast. This year, in some homes it will be chicken, in others pork, beef, turkey or lamb.

Vegan homes might have meatless roasts made of plant protein, which includes variety of ingredients such as mushrooms, soybeans and textured vegetable protein, or from wheat gluten or roasted cauliflower, just to name a few. Whatever your tradition is, you are likely to have it down pat.

What about the side dishes though? Don’t you ever feel like you want to switch them up a bit? Maybe the Macaroni and cheese and potato salad are not so ubiquitous after all. You could try dropping one or two of your usual sides and incorporating one of these. Or you could drop them all and use these four. Whatever floats your boat.
