Holiday cooking can be a monumental task, but it’s also one where you always want to impress. When we’re cooking a holiday meal we look for reliable recipes that taste amazing (and it certainly doesn’t hurt if they save us a little time in the kitchen).
While there’s much to be said for tradition, one great way to impress your guests is with a dish they’ve never seen before so we’ve gathered 10 of our favorite new holiday side dishes. Some use a kitchen shortcut, some use a new combination of flavors, and some feature an unexpected ingredient… but each and every one is sure to steal the show.
