Planning Side Dishes for Your Event
Complementary dishes that round out your party spread. Whether you're hosting a small gathering or a large event, getting the right amount of side dishes is crucial for a successful party.
How Much Side Dishes Per Person?
Plan for about 1/2 cup per person per side dish. Most events should have 2-3 different side options to provide variety and accommodate dietary preferences.
