Little Dairy on the Prairie Pro Tip:
- When you’re choosing sides choose one healthy side (think fruit salad or vegetable), a carb (hello pasta salad), and bread.
- I also try and add one crunchy side dish, a cold side dish, and a warm side dish.
- If you choose a sweet side dish like BBQ baked beans you’ll want to choose something more savory to compliment it.

How do you keep salad cold at BBQs? I like to add ice to a large bowl, then set the bowl of salad on top of the ice. You’ll still want to set it in the shade and not let it sit out for over an hour. But, it will keep the salad cold for a little while!
Salads for BBQs
Salads are classic. Most of them can be made ahead of time and they don’t require any effort once you arrive!
Choose from a carb-y salad (pasta, rice, potato), a creamy fruit salad, and a vinegary salad to balance the flavors out.
All of these recipes will be great with any grilled or smoked meat.

Beans are a MUST if you’re smoking meat!
All of these recipes are easy and will complement ribs, pulled pork, chicken, etc. Plus, they are about as easy as opening a few cans and stirring in a few ingredients!
