The Holiday Season is right around the corner. It’s that time of year again when we get together with our family and friends around the table celebrating and eating a delicious meal. But, I strongly believe that eating well during the holidays is possible, especially when you make your own sides with lots of veggies. These recipes will delight everybody and they will feel very satisfied. 

I hope this list of healthy side dishes for the Holiday Season helps you save some time looking for the best recipes. These side dishes are perfect for Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas too. Many of these recipes are paleo-friendly, low-carb, and gluten-free. I know the big star of the Holiday Season dinner is the turkey, but these side dishes will keep your guests very happy this holiday. I’m sure all the recipes below will be an excellent choice to go along with a juicy Turkey. Enjoy!
