What to serve with French Dip sandwiches?

[chocolatejam]

I'm going to braise a beef brisket and make fds for company soon. What would be a good/healthy choice of sides? It will be for a lunch with 6 people.

Thanks

Hi, chocolatejam:

You definitely need crunch, so the coleslaw everyone recommends would be good. What about a pea salad with water chestnuts and crumbled bacon? Or a Waldorf?

So I need crunch. I love my version of Waldorf salad what a great thought.

a good sour pickle spear and some horseradish along with the other sides mentioned.

Home made potato chips. Potatoes, peanut or canola oil, salt.

If you want to change it up a little bit, try some seasoned sweet potato fries instead of regular.

Fries and coleslaw, what else? forget healthy for this one!

Exact thought here... one could do oven fries, and use a lowfat dressing for the coleslaw.

Came here to recommend those exact same two sides, but clearly, great minds think alike.

[chocolatejam]

EXACTLY. I will plan oven fries, the big ones done with a sprinkle or two of oilve oil and I have a copycat recipe for the KFC coleslaw dressing. I'll tweek it to be low fat.

Oh. silly me. of course fries and slaw! I forgot all about the menu at my favorite French Dip sandwich place back a few decades ago!

You could always do a mixture of roasted veggies or a salad if you want a veggie side. A cup of tomato soup might be good as well.
