BRAAI PERFECTION: MUST-TRY SIDES TO SERVE THIS SUMMER
 (1).jpg)
Summer is on its way, and in South Africa, that can only mean one thing - braai season! While chops and wors are always on the menu, no braai is complete without the perfect sides to go with them. Here are some of our favourites, the ideal companions for a sizzling sausage fresh off the coals.
FRESH THREE BEAN SALAD
This twist on a South African classic is perfect for feeding a crowd. Next time you’re heading to a bring-and-braai, this is the dish to take along. It’s a healthier, and far more delicious, alternative to any pre-made version you’ll find in stores. Don’t skip the caramelised onions; they add a naturally sweet depth of flavour to the beans.

WHEAT CORN AND CHICKPEA SALAD
This combination of ingredients with coriander, mint and spices is so refreshing it can be served anytime. An ideal salad or side to serve with a braai instead of a potato salad, and leftovers make a great lunch for the next day. View recipe here.
SPICY POTATO SALAD
Here we've taken the traditional potato salad and given it a bit of a tweak by using both baby and sweet potatoes as well as adding some harissa paste to the sauce. View recipe here.
GARLIC & CHEESE PULL APART BREAD ROLLS
This bread is packed with flavour! Using store-bought dough means you save time, but can still indulge. If you are looking for an easy side, definitely prepare these buttery garlic clouds with your next braai. View recipe here.
CHAKALAKA
We just had to include this South African favourite, chakalaka! Of course it's conveniently available at your nearest supermarket, but nothing beats a good old fashioned homemade chakalaka.View recipe here.
