Barbecue Sides & Salads

Some of the best barbecues are the ones where everyone brings a dish to share. Side dishes are plentiful, and everyone has their own special recipe, and trying out the different flavors to go along with the main dish is half the fun of a barbecue.

MWT TIP: Make sure any dishes with mayo or eggs in them aren't left out too long. They should be refrigerated until serving, and on hot days the server bowl should be placed into a larger bowl halfway filled with ice.
