Green Side dish for Thanksgiving but not green beans- HELP

I was just asked late last night to bring a green side dish for Thanksgiving but it can't be green beans. The only thing I can think of is a fresh spinach salad with pomegranate, cranberries and pears but I don't know if that would work with a Thanksgiving meal (I'm not American!).
Any ideas for green side dishes I can bring? |

| Roasted brussel sprouts are delicious, especially with pancetta. |

| Garlicky kale with lemon and a dash of cayenne. Sauteed in butter. Yum! |

| Creamed Spinach or Spinach with Artichokes is a must at our house |

| I second the Roasted Brussel Sprouts. Look up Barefoor Contessa's on Food Network if you don't have her cookbook. Super easy and easy to transport! |

I agree. |

| I think we need more fresh vegetables/salads at Thanksgiving meals. Everything else is so heavy. |

| Broccolini with Gorganzola and Pistachios - it was in this past Sunday's WashPost Food Section - delicious and very easy! |

The best brussels sprouts - I call them "brussels sprouts for people who think they hate brussels sprouts." My family requests them every Thanksgiving.

Op here: Thank you so much for all the great ideas! As I was looking up brussels sprout receipes I received a call from the hostess to tell me there there will be 22 people and they also have a brussels sprout dish! Darn it
I'm interested in the dish with Spinach with Artichokes so I'm hoping 9:42 is interested in sharing her family receipe. Any other ideas that are not green beans and brussels sprouts??? P.S. I'll most likely make the salad as well but with that many people I think I'll bring two dishes. |

| We do collard greens, in addition to green beans. I like to brown a little garlic and crushed red pepper in some olive oil. Then I simmer that along that along with the greens and some chicken broth (or you could use vegetable broth) for about 45 minutes. Delicious! |
