What to serve with?

Visually shepherd's pie has a lot going on- lots of colors & texture. I would keep it simple and vibrant - maybe a lightly sauteed spinach or chard- can be tossed with raisins & pinenuts. It wont't overwhelm the shepherds pie.

I think you should serve one of two things. 1. A simple salad made up of romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro etc.. OR 2. an avocado pico de gallo. Diced tomatoes, cubed avocado, onion, cilantro, lemon juice. Tasty and visually pleasing. You'll definitely need to add some green. Good luck!

You could take a lettuce leaf and fill it with the pico de gallo - everything in one package and beautiful! Good luck!

Why not some sort of fruit salad or salsa? This could be made with mangos, peaches, pineapple or any number of fresh fruits. I also love frozen fruit slices or a pear salad; while both of these are usually served in the warmer months I believe that they would balance out the pie... good luck.
