Thanksgiving Salads and Sides

Posted by Stephanie Gallagher Nov 20, 2007

It's just two days left until Thanksgiving. Do you know what your side dishes are?

If you're looking for something you can make and take along to someone else's house, try corn pudding with broccoli. It's sweet, creamy and a real crowd-pleaser. Bonus: You can make it today and bring it to Thanksgiving dinner.

Lemon Cool Whip Jello mousse is another sure-fire winner, and it can be made days in advance. If you avoid Cool Whip because of the hydrogenated oils, try TruWhip, an all-natural frozen whipped topping available at Whole Foods Market.

Brussels sprouts with pistachios will change your guests' minds about Brussels sprouts. Really!

And creamy polenta is soul-satisfying, goes great with turkey, and takes only 20 minutes to prepare. You don't even have to use fresh corn -- frozen works just as well.
