Salads & Sides - Christmas Menu ideas

It's about now that I usually pull out my cookbooks and have a browse on Pinterest to find some new ideas for sides + salads to have at Christmas lunch.
It's nice to try something new along with the old favourites. Here are a few recipes that look pretty delicious-

Parmesan, garlic grilled corn

Kale salad with roasted butternut squash, almond and ricotta

Kale & brussel sprout salad with bacon & pecorino

Roasted cauliflower, chickpeas & quinoa salad with jalapeno lime dressing

Moroccan style roast potatoes with coriander yoghurt

I always like to have a few choices for everyone.

We host Christmas every 3 years so it gives me lots of time to think of ideas.

Here is a pic of our lunch buffet a couple of years ago.

I think we had about 20 people that year.

Simon's parents are hosting this year so I don't have to do too much. I'm bringing some dessert and think I'll go with the classic Pavlova & maybe a Champagne berry jelly. 

Here is our dessert buffet from the same year.

Lots of choice!

Are you hosting Christmas Day this year?
