Looking for the perfect side dish to complement your delicious fish tacos? I've got you covered with some tasty and easy-to-make side dishes that will take your taco game to the next level.
A perfect side dish for fish tacos adds a lot of flavor and is easy to make. But not only that. I also find it important that it adds some extra nutritional value to the meal.
That way, you can be sure you're putting something healthy on the table on Taco Tuesday. That's the reason why you won't find recipes full of fat and sugar in this list.
I also love to add toppings that add a crunch. Think pickled onions, sweet and sour cucumber, or a bell pepper salad.
What drinks to serve with fish tacos?
White wine or beer is always a safe choice for a drink to serve with your fish tacos. I recommend a lighter wine or rose to complement the soft fish.
If you want to serve something a little fancier, I recommend making a large batch of sangria or margaritas!
But what if you want to have a nice evening without alcohol? Kids love lemonade, and I think you can't go wrong with some fresh-squeezed homemade lemonade!
Healthy side dishes for taco dinner
Toppings like sour cream or mayo may not be the healthiest options out there but don't worry, I've got you covered. I like serving fresh salad like my broccoli crunch salad or prosciutto and melon salad.
Now you know what to serve with your fish tacos, so take out your skillet and let's get cooking!
