A backyard meal can feel unfinished when the sides are only chips, dip, and whatever was grabbed last minute. This collection covers vegetables, biscuits, chilled salad, skewers, and a cheesy bake, so the table has something crisp, warm, creamy, and crunchy. The recipes also show what each dish brings to the plate, from air-fried cabbage with lemon and paprika to cucumber dill salad that chills before the meal. Use it when the grill is handled, but the rest of the spread still needs real backup.
