What Are Your Favorite Sandwich Sides?

I am having 8 people over for lunch and serving a variety of sandwich rollups and was thinking of serving potato chips but need some ideas of other things in case not everyone likes chips.TIA

I usually have a nice vegetable salad. Or potato salad or a pasta salad. Or some kind of fruit salad. Coleslaw. I would have crock pot baked beans with a salad.

Maybe some bar cookies or brownies for dessert.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Sandwich Sides?

those are good ideas

how about offering some regular sandwiches in case some people do not like wraps? (like me)

fruit salad and a slaw or cut up veg/dip would round it out

I like raw veggies and hummus- carrots, peppers, cucumbers, celery, etc. and I also like olives (black and stuffed).

I like a bean salad (three bean, or edamame with fresh veggies) or a marinated salad- cucumbers, red peppers, broccoli slaw, etc.

If it's a dinner, I also like roasted veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, or roasted potatoes.

You could go retro and serve a carrot salad or broccoli salad.

I like to serve something cooked, hot with sandwiches. Homemade baked beans are a great idea!

Pickles,olives,chips and dip(French onion is my fav . Sometimes the sandwich needs to be the star. You could serve a pasta salad as a side.

Marconi salad without a doubt. I love a good chip platter with a variety of chips and a ranch center dip bowl.

I also add croissant pizza bake: Roll out the croissant rolls, separate, layer on thin sliced mozzarella cheese, add mariana sauce and top with pepperoni. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese.

Potato chips R not everyone's idea of a great side dish. They R empty fat calories.

Oven baked sweet potato fries, baked beans as someone mentioned, chopped vegetable salad, roasted fall veggies. Lots of good tasting, healthy choices.
