What to serve with garlic-lime chicken?

Anonymous
I have some chicken marinating in minced garlic and fresh lime juice. I then saute it in olive oil, and it's delicious - especially those little bit of sauteed garlic, yum.

Anyway, I am looking for sides to pair it with. Often I will do rice (brown when I want to be healthy, but the flavor of jasmine really goes with it) and black beans. Not sure I want to do the rice tonight, so any ideas for a salad or other green vegetable?

Also, how would you dress the beans, if at all?

Brocolli is nice with garlic so that would go ok. You could also make it into tacos or serve it with a mexican salad (corn, beans, peppers).

You could make a pineapple salsa to accompany it. When i make black beans, i chop up some red pepper and onion or garlic, sauté in olive oil and then add beans just to warm through, add a pinch of salt. Another idea for a side is polenta.
