9 Best Thanksgiving Side Dishes We've Ever Made

Sue Krawitz Tandoc said:  A fresh green salad is the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table. This simple yet savory salad complete with fall ingredients and colors, such as pomegranate, acorn squash, pear and baby spinach, will brighten up your holiday meal!

Vanessa M. said:  Butternut squash soup has been a Thanksgiving favorite in my family for decades. The key to creating a decadent soup is to roast the squash until it is just slightly overdone before pureeing it together with the broth and other ingredients until absolutely smooth. We've tried this soup with both heavy cream and coconut milk - either way you go, it gives the soup a velvety richness your family will love!

Kelly R. said:  This simple but amazing stuffing is probably my favorite Thanksgiving side dish on the table, and I will make it every single year we host! I find it to be worth the extra effort to make stuffing from scratch, and the range of texture means both the soggy stuffing and crispy stuffing lovers are happy.

Alexandra F. said:  Stuffing is one of those traditional Thanksgiving side dishes you really don't want to go without, but we almost always make it easy on ourselves by buying a pre-made mix. We've tried several over the years but Trader Joe's gluten-free stuffing mix is the undisputed favorite. I'm the only one in the family who has to eat gluten-free, but since everyone always chooses my gluten-free mix over their gluten-full ones, we only make this one now! It's one of those stand-out Trader Joe's products worth making a special trip for.
