Tooth (& Waistline) Friendly Sides to Bring to Your Next Summer BBQ
Not all appetizers, sides & salads are created equal…but just because a recipe is healthier doesn’t mean it has to lack in flavor! We’ve rounded up our top four delicious & healthy recipes for your next summer cookout. No need to get approval from your dentist for these dishes…let’s get cooking!
Recipe Roundup
Loaded Hummus
This is by far the easiest and most impressive looking appetizer you can throw together to bring or serve at your next get-together. The recipe includes instructions for how to make your own hummus, but we like to cheat and load our favorite store-bought hummus up with these pretty toppings to take it to a whole new level.
Pro tip: make sure your olives are pitted to avoid a dental mishap!
We recommend serving it up with a mixture of fresh, crunchy veggies and a few of your favorite crackers. We particularly love it paired with triscuits, wheat thins or pretzel chips!

Greek Orzo Salad
We love serving orzo in our pasta salads and this mediterranean orzo salad by Pioneer Woman is right up our alley. If you’ve got picky eaters, you can always sub out the olives for bell peppers, cucumbers or both!
4
Corn, Tomato & Avocado Salad
Nothing screams summer like this fresh corn, tomato & avocado salad from Skinnytaste. It looks as beautiful as it tastes and it makes the perfect healthy and satisfying side dish to serve with anything you’re grilling up!
3
Easy Caprese Salad
You can’t go wrong with a tomato and mozzarella salad like this version from blogger Dinner at the Zoo. We like to skip the sugar and load it up with fresh basil instead of parsley. You can also make it even easier by using green onions instead of red. Give this one a try, you can’t go wrong!
