I love side dishes, and I never go to a restaurant without ordering at least two. And I make sure to always have a nutritional powerhouse of a side at home. It can be as simple as steamed spinach, but I always try to get it in. It’s especially important, if you are having meat as your main dish, to accompany it with a nutritious side in order to fight the free radicals that form in the body when eating meat. Stocking up on some of the dishes in this chapter will help to eradicate those free radicals, once and for all.
