You can use this chilled side to complement almost any summer meal, especially at backyard cookouts. Here’s one meal idea: Add baby red potatoes—cut in half and brushed with a bit of olive oil. Then, sprinkle them with some fresh chopped herbs or dust with dried Italian seasoning, and bake. Serve sides with a slice of lean pork roast.
