Sides on the Side

Thanksgiving foods are a vibe. Creamy, soft holiday side dishes like mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and the like burst with buttery, sweet flavors. But where's the texture? Stop by the Deli Department to fill the gap in your menu with mixed grain and vegetable dishes and salads that offer crispy, crunchy, chewy qualities. Their bright, tangy tastes nicely complement more traditional choices and bring a cool contrast to the typical abundance of warm dishes at the table.

These dishes will also score bonus points with dinner guests with dietary restrictions. They're among a wide variety of our handmade, homestyle salads and sides that are made with gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan or dairy-free ingredients. A few of our seasonal favorites are highlighted here.
