What side dishes to serve

[CookingMamaof2]

We are having a little cookout this weekend and are serving our homemade hot italian sausages with homemade rolls, sauce, green peppers, onions, mushrooms. Do you have some easy, kid friendly, ideas for side dishes to go along with it?

Oh YUM! How about more of the same on the side? If you want to add some kid friendly sides, I would go with watermelon, corn on the cob, and veggie sticks with dip. I thinks sliced tomatoes with fresh mozz and basil would be popular with some kids

You could also make a couscous salad, kids usually love couscous :) or sweet picled baby beetroot salad. I cook up some beetroot till tender, then bring balsamic vinegar and maple syrup (as sweet as you prefer) to a simmer then poor over the beets and refrigerate till needed.
