What Goes Well with a Burger?

Anyone know of some good sides?

 

I mean other than french fries and onion rings.

I like dill spears or bread and butter spears. Also strinless sugar snap peas. 

SWEET POTATO WEDGES ARE GREAT.   I FOUND THE RECIPE ON THIS SITE.  HIGH IN FIBER AND LOW IN CALORIES.

edamame might be nice

i've often seen burgers paired with either steamed corn on the cob, or a fresh garden salad.

yeah, a salad or a side of steamed or roasted veggies (are you grilling?  grilled veggies are great) can turn a modest-sized burger into a perfect meal ;)

steamed corn on the cob, baked yukon gold "fries", romaine salad, crudites (carrots, cucumber, celery, etc), any steamed or grilled veggies

Vegetables: Sweet potatos, corn, green pea's, organic french fries, anything really

Grains: Whole grain biscuits, brown rice, oatmeal with vegetables stirred in, pasta salad

Vegetable salad

Chips: Baked pita chips

FRUIT SALAD--watermelon, cantaloupe, berries--yummy and refreshing!!!

Asparagus!  Very fry-like in shape, too.  You could even make a dip for them.

butternut squash fries!

preheat oven to 450, cut squash into fry like shapes, grease pan, put them on, salt them, bake for 15-20 minutes, flip, bake for another 10-15. 

So good with ketchup!

Broccoli slaw,apple slaw, or fruit salad.

Bean chili or tomato soup

Garnishes like one big olive or a pickle  

Burger with Grilled Veggies

Burger with Sauteed Onions & Peppers

Burger with Saurekraut 

Burger with pickle & tomatoes (tomato/basil salad)

Burger with Pepper Salad (bell peppers, chives, cherry tomatoes, shallot, garlic, pepper)

Burger with Tomato Paste & Olive Tapenade 

Burger with Baked Eggplant Strips (seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, garlic, onion & basil) 

Decisions, decisions!

 

Haha - wow these are such GREAT options!  Thank you all so much.

a restaurant near me has the best veggie burger dish (might work with meat burgers too) - the burger patty is on top of a salad (with lots of real vegetables, not just lettuce) and THAT is on top of a serving of brown rice. I have it with bleu cheese dressing. Sounds weird but it's so good!!

My teeth!  (Just kidding.)  Grilled veggies are my favorites.

Whenever I make up a burger, I usually side it with a HUGE bowl of caesar salad. Yummy!
