13 Sides to Serve with Pimento Cheese Sandwiches

You’ve come to the correct spot if you’re wondering what to serve with your pimento cheese sandwiches.

In this essay, I’ll cover 13 of the most popular pimento cheese sandwich side dishes.

In a rush? Heres the short answer.

To accompany pimento cheese sandwiches, serve tomato soup, a simple chefs salad, veggie chips, or a spicy tomato chutney. Try fried chicken or mashed potato balls for something more substantial. Caramelized onions, cucumber salad, and fried tomatoes are some more ideas.

Ready? Lets jump right in.

Creamy tomato soup 

Tomato and cheese are a popular taste combination, and you’ve probably had tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Another alternative is tomato soup and pimento cheese sandwiches.

This creamy tomato and basil soup is ideal for a light supper or a filling lunch.

And its perfect for dipping.

Chef salad

Crisp lettuce, flavorful meats, boiled eggs, and fresh vegetables like radish and tomatoes add taste to the traditional chef salad.

It’s perfect for days when it’s too hot to cook but you still want something filling.

And you can customize it however you like.

Sweet red bell peppers are one of my favorite additions.

Vegetable chips

A time back, homemade veggie chips were all the rage.

They’ve slipped somewhat off the radar, but that doesn’t make them any less tasty.

They’ll give your meal some much-needed color and crunch.

Which vegetables are you going to choose?

Erin’s recipe calls for beets, carrots, and parsnips.

Rosemary tomato peach chutney 

Chutney originated in India, where the root word chatni means “heavily spiced.”

But don’t be alarmed; this rosemary-tomato-peach chutney will beautifully complement your creamy pimento cheese sandwich.

Just remember, a little goes a long way.

If it lasts that long, the chutney will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Fried green tomatoes

Green tomatoes are unripe, firm tomatoes that are delicious when fried with breadcrumbs.

They have an acidic taste (which is oddly addicting) and are popular in the southern regions.

With your cheesy pimento sandwich, try these crispy oven-fried green tomatoes. You may serve them as a side dish or stuff them into a sandwich.

Bean and corn salad

Fancy going on a culinary adventure?

This black bean and corn salad with Mexican flavors is light yet satisfying.

The soft textures of the beans and avocado will complement the velvety pimento spread, and the acidic dressing will complement the peppers’ spiciness.

With this side, you’re in for a flavor-packed meal.

Cucumber rounds with cream cheese

These elegant cucumber rounds covered with cream cheese make excellent hors d’oeuvres to accompany your pimento cheese sandwiches.

They’re light and refreshing, and they won’t fill you up.

Keep this recipe for cucumber rounds with herbed cream cheese on hand for the next time you throw a party.

You can also change things up by using guacamole or whipped goats cheese for the cream cheese.

Fried potato balls

Fried potato balls are a tasty snack and an even better accompaniment to a pimento sandwich.

They have a fluffy inside and a crunchy outside. It’s similar to fries, but considerably more fluffy and crispy.

These fried-mashed potato balls are overflowing with flavor thanks to jalapeos, cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing.

Asparagus soup

I mentioned tomato soup before, but it’s not the only soup that goes well with pimento cheese sandwiches.

Another soup I really like is asparagus soup.

It shouts summer, and the earthy undertones enhance the pimento cheese’s sweet-but-tangy overtones.

This cream asparagus soup will look delicious on the table in either cold or warm weather.

Japanese cucumber salad

Want a refreshing, palate-cleansing side?

Try this Japanese cucumber salad.

It tastes like pickles. The strong vinegary dressing will cut through the cheese spread’s richness.

You may serve it on the side of the sandwiches, or you can stuff it with a few slices of the prepared cucumber. It is all up to you.

Caramelized onions

Serve these caramelized onions with a pimento cheese sandwich for a variation on the traditional cheese and onion sandwich.

The sweetness will complement the spicy pimento cheese spread well.

And the onions will give the dish some much-needed sharpness.

To create some tasty onion relish, follow this 3-step method.

Fried chicken 

Fried chicken is always welcome at my table.

If you’re making pimento sandwiches for a party or gathering, a few slices of fried chicken on the dish won’t appear out of place.

We all have preferred dishes, ranging from Korean to BBQ.

This typical southern crispy fried chicken dish, on the other hand, delivers on both flavour and crispness.

Bring out the napkins, please!

Fruit salad 

A platter of fresh fruits is usually a crowd pleaser.

The subtle, sweet tastes will nicely complement your supper of spicy pimento sandwiches.

This exotic fruit salad blends berries, pineapples, grapes, and kiwi with a spicy honey-lime dressing.

Your guests wont be able to resist digging in.
