Summer is a great time for food and drink. There are some lovely ingredients in season, and eating and cooking outside is one of life’s greatest joys. Of course, this means barbecues are perfect and a great way to host lots of people. While the grill items are the main star of the show, barbecues are also a great opportunity to make some delicious side dishes. Here are a few exciting ones to try.

Four Cheese Mac and Cheese

Mac and cheese is an incredible side to have at a barbeque, and making one with 4 cheeses is sure to blow people’s minds. Cook your pasta and in the meantime make a white sauce. Once both are ready, mix together and add some grated cheddar, some blue cheese, some mozzarella, and some parmesan. Pop in the oven for 30 minutes, until the top is nicely browned. 

Rainbow Slaw

With all the tasty, rich foods, it’s always a good idea to have something fresh and crunchy at a barbecue. Rainbow slaw is perfect, and so easy to make. Simply shred some white cabbage and white onion and grate some carrot and beetroot. Mix these together with some seasoning and a vinaigrette or some mayonnaise depending on your preference, and stir through some fresh parsley.
