I basically have a veggie with some seasoning with dinner every night. Getting kind of bored with it. Any suggestions for some new side dishes?

Brown rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, a variety of veggies prepared in a variety of ways...you know, it's perfectly healthy to saute those veggies or roast those veggies too...0

I feel like side dishes are my weak point so I am looking on pinterest for more ideas.
salads made with things like spinach, cabbage, corn, beans, lentils, potatoes, pasta, olives, cottage cheese, tomato, beet, broccoli
Potatoes in many forms- roasted potatoes (white or sweet), baked potato (white or sweet), baked French fries, mashed, sweet potato fritters, Greek potatoes
Roasted or grilled vegetables- asaparagus, brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc
corn on the cob
Baked beans
Cauliflower- roasted, mashed, buffalo style, shredded to imitate rice
Sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, kimchi
Cooked spinach or cabbage- sauteed
Zucchini in many forms- zoodles, lemon pepper zucchini
Vegetable combinations- green beans with tomatoes, green beans with potatoes, stir fry vegetables, broccoli with mushrooms, peppers and onions
Pasta with marinara sauce
Rice- white, brown or wild rice, seasoned rice, vegetables with rice, Greek rice, Spanish rice, cheesy rice, rice salad0 -
I saw a great recipe in here that included;
Cucumber
Granny Smith Apple
Onion
Vinegarette dressing
Nuts (walnuts, roasted sunflower seeds, almonds etc)0 -
If you like fruit and cheese, I find that more satisfying that the usual steamed broccoli sometimes.
Reduced fat feta with dried apricots was amazing. Add almonds, and it's even better. I just eat them together by hand, but you can easily but them in a bowl together.
Apple and low fat cheddar
Blueberries or strawberries with Gorgonzola or low fat feta.
Mozzarella and tomato
Grapes and provolone or Swiss. (Also good with apples)
Cottage cheese with pineapple or berries is always good.0 -
cucumber and tomato salad is always refreshing. You can put a little oil on apples with cinnamon in the oven for a few mins - thats good. I made broccoli tots (like tater tots) this week and those were really tasty! Have you tried cauliflower rice? It is a bit of a process but pretty good.0

Also, one of my faves is string beans with almond slices sauteed in garlic and oil with a bit of lemon pepper. MMMMM0
