And these salads aren’t only for a summer BBQ or picnic, they can be a perfect side dish at family dinner any time of the year. I love to pair my Crispy Fried Chicken with a slaw and potato or pasta salad, just as if I picked up a meal from the deli. Most of these recipes make a great side for any one of my 30+ Sloppy Joes Recipes too. Be sure to share your serving ideas in the comments below!
