veggie side to go with goulash?

godblessourhome

what veggie would you pair with goulash? normally we have corn, but i that won't work this time. also stuck on what fruit would go well. any suggestions?

I'd go for brokkoli or green beans. And fruit...well depends on the season, I think now apples and oranges would do!

I'd serve some variation of a tomato salad (with parsley and basil, cucumbers, lemon juice, olive oil, maybe a bit of cheese if that's your style). Something with a little acid in it to cut through the heaviness of the goulash.
I know it's not in season, but stone fruit for dessert: peaches, plums.

Hello!!! I am from Hungary, and we usually eat it with cucumber with sour cream. Peal the cucumber, slice it up, and salt it a little bit. Then put it away for a few hours, so the slices will release the access water, then drain them. Once they are drained you mix it up with a little sour cream ( for weight loss, use fat free sour cream), add black pepper and paprika for more spice.
It is delicious and it is very easy to make!!!

For fruit I would def. go with the citrus or apples. The citrus is amazing right now. For veggies what about a salad? Or beets? Maybe a beet salad? That would go well together. If your family isn't into beets, French green beans would be good too, I think. Ooo, or sweet potato!? (edited to add: maybe not sweet potato b/c there is potato in it, duh. I forgot :blushing: )

Ohh, those cucumbers sound soooo good.

I am totally into spinach right now so my first thought was a spinach salad, lately it's just been raw spinach & sundried tomatoes but I love to make one with raw spinach, cranberries & walnuts or pecans and I make a hot honey/mustard dressing to go over it. Making it tomorrow now!
