Six Gluten-Free, Vegan, Festive Side Dish Ideas

Gluten-Free, Vegan Cauliflower Cheese

My Six Gluten-Free, Vegan, Festive Side Dish Ideas are going to make any last-minute, festive planning super easy. All of these recipes are quick, easy and made from ingredients that are seasonal and easy to get hold of. There is a fabulous mixture of comfort food and healthy food, hot food and cold food. Something for everyone and every occasion.

Why are Side Dishes so Important???

Side dishes, for me, complete the meal. They compliment and improve the meal as well as being super dishes on their own. Great side dishes are easy to prepare and require minimal ‘worrying about’. Forget about soufflé and dishes that require pin-point accuracy of baking. These gluten free, vegan side dishes will only compliment your meal, they will improve it and make your life easier.

Christmas Root Vegetable Salad

If you are serving a buffet with lots of leftovers Christmas Root Vegetable Salad is perfect. Very, quick and easy to make! Fresh, crunchy, light, refreshing and just plain, old delicious. I adore Christmas Root Vegetable Salad with everything from Gluten-Free, Vegan Haggis Wellington to Gluten Free, Vegan Quiche and all the options in between.

Warm Pear Salad

Warm Pear Salad is not only a great side but also a wonderful starter. The side dish (or starter) for any occasion. Pears are still just about seasonal (when stored well) and impart a wonderful flavour to the salad. One of my favourite sides that matches any main for flavour and texture.
