Good side dish with goulash?

Question

I'm making a Hungarian goulash with buttered noodles, and I'd like something on the side. Maybe a salad? Other suggestions?

Answer 1

Since it is probably going to be pretty meaty and spicy I would say something light and refreshing such as a greek salad, tomatoes, boccancini and basil with balsamic, side garden salad, or a selection of marinated or pickled veggies.

Good luck, sounds yummy.

Answer 2

Definitely a garden-type salad with lots of shredded veggies, or maybe a mesclun-type ( = mixed baby greens) or even a simple one of torn romaine leaves with fresh-ground black pepper, some crumbled bleu cheese OR grated parmesan, with a simple dressing of fresh-squeezed lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil...the lemon will help to cut the heaviness of the meat and the buttered noodles.

Sounds yummy.

See if you can find a bottle or two of a good Hungarian red wine called Ekri Bykaver to go with the meal.

Answer 3

Oysters in Soya Sauce!

And a green salad maybe?

Answer 4

I like a nice garlicky saute of veggies, mashed potatoes are great if u dont mind the extra carbs.
