Impress your guests with these 35 Unique Thanksgiving Side Dishes. These creations are so much more than the traditional overdone recipes everyone is serving up. Your guests will be talking about your Thanksgiving spread for years to come!
Over the years, I have been to quite a few Thanksgiving dinners, visiting family, friends, extended family, and even enjoyed a few meals with complete strangers. When it comes to Thanksgiving Side Dishes, I feel like I have seen them all. Unfortunately, most of the Thanksgiving Side Dishes I have seen are the same thing over and over again.
Each one offered different variations of stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and some kind of fruit salad. Even with the slight changes from one dish to the other, they were basically all the same and it gets kind of boring after a while. This is especially true when you have to go to several Thanksgiving dinners each year, it gets kind of boring to eat the same old thing multiple times in one day and then again each year.
Whenever I would notice a Unique Thanksgiving Side Dish at one of the many Thanksgiving spreads I sat at, I took notice. That is usually the highlight of the holiday for me and I will always remember the host as a culinary wizard for changing things up in such a delightful way.
That is what has inspired this list of 35 Unique Thanksgiving Side Dishes! Don’t serve your guests the same old boring traditional Thanksgiving Side Dishes, switch it up a bit and offer something new and exciting!
