Side dishes recipes are foods that are not a main course, not a vegetable or salad, and not a dessert. That leaves foods that are traditionally high in carbohydrates. Here are some great alternatives!
(Note about the header image, showing natto, a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans that have been fermented with Bacillus subtilis var. natto. Moderate-carb food, < 7g carbs per 1/4 c.)
Low Carb Side Dishes
These are mostly vegetables and salads, so please take time to peruse these recipes! You can omit ham and bacon without changing the character of the recipes. You can substitute with turkey, chicken, or beef bacon, or any vegetarian/vegan faux bacon of your choice. At any rate, I think you’ll be adding a lot of these recipes to your personal collections!
