Answer 3

This is a great salad, that will cut through the heaviness of the rest of the meal:

ORANGE BALSAMIC SALAD

Mixed baby salad greens

Carmelized sliced almonds (stirfry in sugar until sugar melts & coats nuts)..

1 can drained mandarin oranges

thinly sliced onion

Toss with a good quality Balsamic Vignarette dressing......

An adaptation of this that's really good is RASPBERRY SPINACH SALAD:   Use a big bag of baby spinach;  carmelize either chunky-chopped pecans or walnuts; use fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries - Use either bottle Raspberry-Walnut or Raspberry-Pecan Vignarette dressing......

Answer 4

ribs are already heavy as it is.  Try a light salad such as mixed greens, or baby spinach, or even a mix,    Romaine is also good and if you like arugula, that's good too.   Top it with peppers, cucumbers, mushrooms, tomatoes and balsamic vinegars.  

Answer 5

My personal favourites are pasta salad and also Caesar Salad. They're very simple but tasty. Here's a simple pasta salad recipe I use myself. This recipes serves 2 (my husband and me) but you can always double it if you are cooking for more people.

1 cup raw macaroni shells

2-3 tablespoons mayonaise

5 baby carrots, grated

1/2 green bell pepper, sliced and diced (You can also throw in red, orange and yellow bell peppers.)

1 tsp sweet relish

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup of milk

Optional: 1 tsp of sweet corn relish and a squirt of prepared mustard

Boil pasta and mix ingredients!

Caesar Salad is pretty straight forward.

Romaine lettuce

caesar dressing

mozzerella cheese and/or permesan cheese

flavoured croutons

Enjoy!

Answer 6

Answer 8

Cole Slaw is always a favorite with BBQ ribs.  I like the crunchy veggie combination with ribs, sounds like a fantastic meal.  I have 2 different kinds of recipes, one is an asian style slaw and one is a blue cheese slaw.  You can find them at:

Answer 9

Cole slaw would probably be very good with ribs. I've never tried the combination, but I LOVE cole slaw with BBQ pork or chicken.

Answer 10

I think Greek Salad would taste wonderful with what your making.

Or you could make steamed asparagus with it.
