There are certain side dishes that are practically mandatory at a barbecue: corn on the cob, potato salad, pasta salad and baked beans to name a few. These classics pair perfectly with a slab of ribs or a big, meaty burger and instantly make you think of summer. But if you want to take your bbq side dishes a bit further, we have options for you too. Try our peach-and-fennel slaw for a crunchy, sweet twist on a salad or make these spicy charred fava bean pods to get smoky flavor. Food & Wine's guide has all the recipes you need.
