Low-Fat Side DishesUPLOAD A RECIPE

The key to keeping fat and calories under control is to limit the use of high-fat sauces and cooking methods. So instead of a cream sauce, consider a light sprinkle of herbs and a splash of fresh lemon juice. Also, consider serving fresh, in-season vegetables at the peak of flavor. One taste and you'll never go back to your old approaches to side dishes.
